Annual Water Temperature Trend

Lamberts Beach lies on Queensland’s North Coast near Mackay, facing the Coral Sea, and water temperatures here stay warm for most of the year. Over summer, from roughly December to March, the sea is usually around 27–29 °C, giving the water a distinctly tropical feel. In winter, typically between June and August, temperatures ease back to about 22–24 °C, which is still comfortable for swimming, especially on sunny days with light winds. Autumn and spring tend to be particularly pleasant, with water temperatures commonly sitting in the 24–26 °C range and more stable weather along the coast.
