*** 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 Overview by Month
Monthly Water Temp Ranges
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.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming in Maloneys Beach is allowed and can be enjoyable, particularly when conditions are calm. The beach is partly sheltered by surrounding headlands, which can reduce wave energy compared to more exposed stretches of coast, though Tasman Sea swells and currents are still present at times. This makes swimming best suited to confident swimmers, especially during summer when the water is at its warmest. On quieter days, the water is clean and inviting, while in cooler months most locals prefer short swims or wearing wetsuits. Overall, Maloneys Beach offers clear water, noticeable seasonal temperature changes, and rewarding swimming opportunities in a relaxed Far South Coast setting.
