Annual Water Temperature Trend

Yeppoon sits on Queensland’s Capricorn Coast along the Coral Sea, and water temperatures here stay warm and inviting for much of the year. In summer, from around December to March, the sea is typically about 26–28 °C, feeling properly tropical and well suited to longer swims. During winter, usually June to August, temperatures drop back to roughly 21–23 °C, which is still comfortable by Australian standards, especially on sunny, calm days. Spring and autumn are often ideal, with water temperatures commonly sitting between 23–25 °C and more settled weather along the coast.
