Annual Water Temperature Trend

Urunga is a absolute corker of a seaside village where the Kalang and Bellinger Rivers meet the Tasman Sea, creating a water lover's playground that’s hard to beat. If you’re planning on getting wet, you’ll find the water temperatures are pretty spot on for most of the year. During the peak of summer in February, the mercury in the ocean hits a balmy 25°C to 27°C, making it feel more like a warm soak than a chilly dip. When winter rolls around in August, it dips back to a fresher 19°C or 21°C. While that might have some reaching for a spring suit, it’s still fairly mild compared to further south, and you’ll see plenty of the local crew out there year-round if the sun is out and the wind is down.
