Annual Water Temperature Trend

Tallow Beach sits on the eastern side of Byron Bay on the far north coast of New South Wales, facing the Coral Sea and exposed to open ocean conditions. Water temperatures here follow the region’s warm subtropical pattern and remain suitable for swimming through most of the year. In summer, the sea commonly warms to around 25–27 °C, making the water feel comfortable for extended swims. Autumn often stays pleasant, with temperatures typically between 23–25 °C as the ocean settles between weather changes. Spring begins cooler at roughly 21–23 °C before steadily warming toward summer. Winter is the coolest season, but even then the water usually remains around 19–21 °C, which many locals still find manageable on clear, sunny days.
