Annual Water Temperature Trend

Spanish Point sits on the Atlantic coast of County Clare in Munster, known for its long sandy shore and exposed coastal conditions. Sea temperatures here are strongly influenced by the open ocean and seasonal weather patterns. Typical winter sea temperatures are around 8 °C, with early spring rising into the 9–12 °C range. By late summer, surface waters commonly reach about 15–17 °C, after which autumn cooling brings temperatures back down to roughly 11–14 °C. Day-to-day conditions can vary with tides, swell and onshore winds, so local readings may differ from seasonal averages.
