Water Temperature in Fukuoka Prefecture: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Original name of the region: 福岡県

Fukuoka Prefecture, located on the northern shore of Kyushu Island, experiences a moderate maritime climate with distinct seasonal shifts in coastal water temperatures. During the summer months, from June to August, the water temperature around Fukuoka typically ranges from 75°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C). This is comfortably warm for swimming, making it a popular destination for beachgoers and water sports enthusiasts. The warmest months, July and August, see the highest temperatures, which are ideal for activities like swimming, surfing, and beach lounging along Fukuoka's coastal areas such as Nokonoshima Island and Momochi Beach.

As autumn approaches in September and October, the water temperature begins to decrease gradually, ranging from 70°F to 75°F (21°C to 24°C), still remaining pleasant for outdoor water activities. By November, the temperatures start dropping further, and the sea cools down to around 59°F to 64°F (15°C to 18°C), which may not be as comfortable for swimming but is still manageable for those accustomed to cooler waters. During the winter months from December to February, the water temperature can drop to 50°F to 55°F (10°C to 13°C), making swimming less appealing, but still suitable for colder water diving or other cold-water activities.

Despite the cooler winter waters, Fukuoka's coastal regions remain attractive year-round, with fewer tourists in the winter, offering a peaceful, less crowded experience. The change in water temperatures throughout the year also affects local marine life, with different species becoming more prominent in the warmer months, contributing to the region's vibrant ecosystem.
