*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast

Actual near-shore water temperatures in Maloneys 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

Maloneys Beach sits just north of Batemans Bay on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, facing the Tasman Sea, and its water temperatures reflect the cooler nature of this part of the coastline. In summer, the ocean typically warms to around 20–23 °C, which feels refreshing rather than warm and suits swimming on sunny days. Autumn often remains fairly mild, with temperatures commonly between 18–21 °C, while spring is cooler at roughly 16–19 °C as the sea slowly warms after winter. During winter, water temperatures usually drop to about 14–16 °C, which can feel very cold without a wetsuit and generally limits swimming to brief dips.
