*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual near-shore water temperatures in Hyams Beach 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.

Annual Water Temperature Trend
Hyams Beach sits inside Jervis Bay on the South Coast of New South Wales, linked to the Tasman Sea but protected from its harsher conditions. Water temperatures here follow a steady seasonal cycle. In summer, the water usually warms to around 21–24 °C, which is comfortable for extended swims and relaxed time in the sea. Autumn often stays mild, with temperatures commonly between 19–22 °C, while spring is cooler at roughly 17–20 °C as the bay gradually warms. During winter, water temperatures generally drop to about 16–18 °C, which can feel brisk but is still suitable for short swims, especially on clear, calm days.
