*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual near-shore water temperatures in Tomakin 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.
Annual Water Temperature Overview by Month
Monthly Water Temp Ranges
Annual Water Temperature Trend
Tomakin sits on the Far South Coast of New South Wales where the Tomaga River meets the Tasman Sea, and local water temperatures reflect the cooler climate of this region. In summer, ocean temperatures usually reach around 20–23 °C, which feels refreshing but comfortable for swimming on warm days. Autumn often stays mild, with water temperatures commonly between 18–21 °C, while spring is cooler at roughly 16–19 °C as the sea gradually warms after winter. During winter, water temperatures typically fall to about 14–16 °C, which can feel quite cold without a wetsuit and generally limits swimming to short, brisk dips.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming in Tomakin is allowed and offers a choice of conditions. The ocean beach is exposed to Tasman Sea swells, so waves and currents are common and swimming there is best suited to confident swimmers, particularly in summer when the water is at its warmest. At the same time, the Tomaga River and nearby inlet areas provide calmer, more sheltered water that is popular with families and relaxed swimmers. This variety means swimming is possible in most seasons by choosing the right spot for the day. Overall, Tomakin offers clean water, clear seasonal temperature changes, and flexible swimming opportunities along a quieter stretch of the Far South Coast.
