*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast

Actual near-shore water temperatures in Huskisson can vary by several degrees from the values shown, particularly after heavy rain, strong southerlies, or prolonged windy conditions. Certain wind patterns can trigger upwelling, where cooler, deeper water is pushed to the surface and replaces the warmer top layer, leading to noticeable short-term changes in water temperature.

Our water temperature forecast is produced using a proprietary mathematical model that combines real-time measurements with long-term historical patterns, local weather conditions, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each coastal region. To improve accuracy, we cross-check data from nearby locations and use multiple sources, including offshore buoys, satellite-based sea surface maps, and observations provided by local authorities.

Swimming Conditions

Swimming in Huskisson is allowed and very popular thanks to the town’s sheltered position inside the bay. The surrounding beaches and foreshore areas generally have smaller waves and weaker currents than fully exposed Tasman Sea beaches, making them suitable for swimmers of most abilities. This calmer water is particularly appealing for families and relaxed swimmers during summer. Even in cooler months, the clear water and protected conditions make swimming possible for those prepared for lower temperatures. Overall, Huskisson offers reliable seasonal water temperatures and some of the most user-friendly swimming conditions on the South Coast.
