Annual Water Temperature Trend

Wonga Beach is a quiet stretch of sand on Queensland’s Far North Coast, looking out over the Coral Sea. The water here stays comfortably warm for most of the year thanks to the tropical climate. During the hotter months from around November to April, sea temperatures usually sit between 27–30 °C, with summer afternoons often feeling almost bath-like. In the cooler dry season, roughly May to October, the water drops only slightly and generally ranges from about 23–26 °C. Even in winter, the sea remains mild compared with beaches further south, making temperature a non-issue for most swimmers.
