Annual Water Temperature Trend

Kettering sits on the D’Entrecasteaux Channel along Tasmania’s south-east coast, where the waters are influenced by the Tasman Sea but remain more sheltered than fully open beaches. This gives the area relatively stable and predictable water temperatures. In summer, from December to February, the water usually reaches around 16–18 °C, which feels cool but comfortable enough for swimming on warm days. Autumn sees temperatures ease back to about 14–16 °C, while winter is colder, typically around 11–13 °C. During spring, the water slowly warms again, generally sitting between 13–15 °C as daylight hours increase and conditions improve.
