*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual near-shore water temperatures in Mooball 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
Mooball Beach sits on the far north coast of New South Wales, facing the Coral Sea and influenced by warm subtropical waters. Sea temperatures here are generally comfortable for swimming across most of the year. In summer, the ocean typically warms to around 25–27 °C, making it easy to spend long periods in the water. Autumn often holds onto that warmth, with temperatures usually between 23–25 °C and more settled weather. Spring begins cooler at roughly 21–23 °C before steadily warming as summer approaches. Winter is the coolest season, but even then the water commonly stays around 19–21 °C, which many locals still find fine for a swim on sunny, calm days.
