Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.
Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.
Water temperature data for this location is gathered from various sources, including buoys and satellite sea and ocean surface maps provided by the NOAA agency. We also incorporate data from local authorities in each specific location worldwide to ensure more accurate temperature readings.

Annual Water Temperature Trend
Wellington Point sits on the western edge of Moreton Bay in Queensland and is known for its sheltered outlook across the water, sandy foreshore and the long jetty that reaches into the bay. The local sea temperatures reflect the subtropical climate: in summer (December–February) water commonly ranges from about 24–27 °C, in autumn (March–May) about 21–24 °C, in winter (June–August) around 18–21 °C, and in spring (September–November) typically 20–24 °C. The warmest conditions generally occur in late summer, while the coolest are most likely in mid winter; tidal movements and wind can cause short-term variation from these averages.
