Annual Water Temperature Trend

Surfside sits on the northern shore of Batemans Bay on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, and water temperatures here tend to be slightly cooler than further north but fairly consistent through the year. In summer, the bay usually warms to around 20–23 °C, which is comfortable for swimming, especially on calm, sunny days. Autumn often stays mild, with temperatures commonly between 18–21 °C, while spring is cooler at roughly 16–19 °C as the water 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 suits only short, refreshing dips.
