Annual Water Temperature Trend

Mystery Bay sits on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, opening straight onto the Tasman Sea, and its water temperatures reflect the cooler nature of this southern coastline. In summer, the ocean usually warms to around 20–23 °C, which feels refreshing but comfortable for swimming on warm days. Autumn often stays 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 typically drop to about 14–16 °C, which can feel quite cold without a wetsuit and generally limits swimming to short, bracing dips.
