*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast

Actual near-shore water temperatures in Urangan 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.

Swimming Conditions

Swimming at Urangan is allowed and widely enjoyed, largely thanks to the naturally sheltered conditions of Hervey Bay. The coastline here is protected from strong ocean swell, resulting in calm, shallow water with gentle entry, which suits relaxed swimming and families. Beaches around Urangan are often chosen for their easy access and predictable conditions, especially when tides are favourable. During the warmer months, usually from November to May, marine stingers may be present, so many swimmers wear stinger suits or follow local advice. Outside the stinger season, the combination of calm water, mild temperatures, and safe conditions makes Urangan a reliable and comfortable spot for swimming for most of the year.
