Annual Water Temperature Trend

Tamarama Beach sits just south of Bondi and faces straight into the Tasman Sea, which means water temperatures closely follow the open-ocean cycle along the Sydney coast. During summer, from December to March, sea temperatures usually range between 21–24 °C, making conditions comfortable for most swimmers without extra gear. In autumn, the water cools gradually to around 19–21 °C. Winter brings noticeably colder conditions, typically 16–18 °C, while spring sees a steady rise back toward 18–20 °C as ocean currents shift and air temperatures lift.
