*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast

Actual near-shore water temperatures in Killick 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.

Swimming Conditions

Swimming is allowed and enjoyed at Killick Beach, though it’s very much an open-ocean beach. The long, exposed shoreline means waves and currents can vary from day to day, and rips may be present, especially after periods of stronger swell. On calmer days, the water is clean and refreshing, with easy access from the sand and plenty of space to spread out. When the surf is up, conditions tend to suit confident swimmers and surfers rather than casual bathers. With no permanent patrols, it’s important to read the conditions carefully and choose the right day, as the sea here can change quickly despite the beach’s relaxed, uncrowded feel.
