*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast

Actual near-shore water temperatures in San Remo 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.

Swimming Conditions

Swimming in San Remo is allowed and offers a mix of conditions depending on location. Some areas around the town are more sheltered from direct Bass Strait swells, resulting in calmer water that suits relaxed swimming, especially in summer. More exposed spots can experience strong tidal movement and cooler currents, making them better suited to confident swimmers who are comfortable with changing conditions. On settled summer days, the water is clean and inviting, while in cooler months most locals either keep swims brief or avoid the water altogether. Overall, San Remo offers clear seasonal temperature changes and a range of swimming opportunities shaped by both sheltered coastal waters and the nearby open strait.
