*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast

Actual near-shore water temperatures in Remarkable Cave 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

Remarkable Cave sits on the exposed edge of the Tasman Peninsula, facing the open Tasman Sea, where the water is clear, powerful, and consistently cool. Sea temperatures here follow the typical east coast Tasmanian pattern but can feel colder due to constant swell and wind. In summer, from December to February, the water usually reaches around 15–17 °C, which is refreshing rather than warm. Autumn sees a gradual cooling to about 14–16 °C, while winter is much colder, commonly around 11–13 °C. During spring, temperatures slowly rise again, generally sitting between 13–15 °C as daylight increases, though conditions often remain unsettled.

Swimming Conditions

Swimming at Remarkable Cave is allowed in a technical sense, but it is not considered a safe or suitable swimming location. The site is highly exposed to the Tasman Sea, with strong waves, surging water, and unpredictable currents, even on relatively calm days. There are no sheltered swimming areas, and wave action can be sudden and forceful. As a result, swimming is generally discouraged and limited only to highly experienced ocean users during rare, very calm conditions. Even then, cold water and swell make time in the sea short and demanding, with wetsuits essential. For most visitors, Remarkable Cave is best enjoyed as a dramatic coastal feature rather than a place for swimming, with safety closely tied to staying out of the water altogether.
