Annual Water Temperature Trend

Port Gibbon sits on the eastern side of the Eyre Peninsula, looking across the sheltered waters of Spencer Gulf, and this location gives it relatively mild sea temperatures compared to open-ocean coasts. In summer, the water is at its warmest, usually around 20–24°C, which feels comfortable and inviting on hot days. Autumn brings a gradual cooling to roughly 18–21°C, while winter is cooler but still manageable, often sitting between 14–16°C. Spring marks a steady warm-up, with water temperatures commonly around 17–20°C, helped by strong sunshine and the gulf’s generally calmer conditions.
