Annual Water Temperature Trend

Station Creek Beach lies on the far north coast of New South Wales, where a small coastal creek meets the Coral Sea in a quiet, natural setting. Water temperatures here follow the region’s warm subtropical pattern and are suitable for swimming through most of the year. In summer, the ocean typically warms to around 25–27 °C, while the creek often feels just as warm or slightly warmer on still days. Autumn usually remains pleasant, with water temperatures sitting between 23–25 °C. Spring starts cooler at roughly 21–23 °C before rising steadily as summer approaches. Winter is the coolest period, but even then temperatures generally stay around 19–21 °C, which many locals still find comfortable on sunny days.
