Annual Water Temperature Trend

Mutton Bird Beach is tucked just west of Albany’s harbour, offering a more protected setting than many beaches along the Great Australian Bight. Water temperatures here reflect the far south coast but tend to feel slightly more forgiving due to the shelter provided by surrounding headlands. In summer, from December to February, the sea usually sits around 18–21°C, which is comfortable for most swimmers on warm, calm days. Autumn cools gradually to about 16–19°C, while winter brings colder conditions, commonly 13–15°C. Spring marks a steady warm-up again, typically reaching 15–17°C, though cool breezes can still take the edge off.
