During the summer months of June through August, the water temperature typically ranges from 70°F to 77°F (21°C to 25°C). This makes it warm enough for swimming, and the region's coastal areas, including the popular Oarai Beach, attract visitors for beach activities, surfing, and swimming. The sea remains relatively warm throughout the peak summer months, providing a pleasant environment for outdoor water sports.
As autumn sets in during September and October, the sea begins to cool down gradually, with temperatures dropping to around 64°F to 70°F (18°C to 21°C). This still remains comfortable for activities like beach walking, kayaking, or even diving, although fewer people tend to swim as the temperatures cool. By November, the water temperature continues to decrease, reaching about 55°F to 59°F (13°C to 15°C), making it too cold for swimming but still tolerable for some more resilient outdoor activities.
