Annual Water Temperature Trend

Guilderton sits at the mouth of the Moore River on Perth’s City Coast, where freshwater meets the Indian Ocean and creates a mix of ocean and estuary-style swimming conditions. Sea temperatures here follow the northern Perth pattern and are comfortable for swimming for much of the year. In summer, from December to February, the ocean usually sits around 21–24°C, feeling warm and inviting on sunny days. Autumn remains pleasant at roughly 19–22°C, while winter cools to about 16–18°C, which can feel brisk but is still suitable for shorter swims. Spring brings a gradual warm-up again, generally ranging between 18–21°C as air temperatures rise.
