*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual near-shore water temperatures in Kurrimine 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
Kurrimine Beach sits on the warm, tropical stretch of Queensland’s North Coast, where the Coral Sea keeps water temperatures inviting for most of the year. In summer, from around December to March, sea temperatures usually sit between 27 and 29 °C, making the water feel almost bath-like. Through the cooler months of winter, temperatures ease back to roughly 22–24 °C, which is still comfortable for swimming, especially on sunny days with little wind. Spring and autumn are a sweet spot, with the sea generally holding steady around 24–26 °C and conditions feeling pleasant both in and out of the water.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming at Kurrimine Beach is generally allowed and popular with locals, but conditions are very much shaped by the tropics. The beach faces the open Coral Sea, so waves and currents can vary, and swimmers should be cautious during rough weather. In the warmer months, typically from November to May, marine stingers can be present, which is why many people choose to swim in protective stinger suits or stick to calmer, shallower areas. Outside the stinger season, the beach offers relaxed swimming in warm, clear water, especially during calmer mornings, making it a good option for confident swimmers who keep an eye on local conditions.
