Annual Water Temperature Trend

Johanna sits on an exposed stretch of coastline in Victoria’s far west, facing directly into the Great Australian Bight, and this gives it some of the coldest and most powerful ocean conditions in the state. Water temperatures remain cool all year. In summer, the sea usually ranges from about 16–19°C, which feels brisk even on warm days. Autumn sees temperatures fall to roughly 14–17°C, while winter is very cold, often around 11–13°C. Spring brings only a slow warm-up, with water temperatures commonly between 12–15°C, and sudden cold changes are common after strong weather systems.
