Annual Water Temperature Trend

Lancelin sits north of Perth on the City Coast, where the Indian Ocean meets a mix of exposed shoreline and naturally sheltered lagoon areas. Water temperatures here are typical of Western Australia’s central west coast and suit swimming for a good part of the year. In summer, from December to February, the sea usually ranges between 21–24°C, feeling warm and refreshing on sunny days. Autumn remains comfortable at around 19–22°C, while winter brings cooler water, generally about 16–18°C, which can feel brisk but is still manageable for short swims. Spring sees a steady warm-up again, commonly sitting between 18–21°C as air temperatures rise.
