*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast

Actual near-shore water temperatures in Mullaloo 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.

The beach has a sandy bottom, a gentle slope into the water, and is often less affected by heavy swell than more exposed spots further south, making it suitable for families and casual swimmers when conditions are calm.
