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 Overview by Month
Monthly Water Temp Ranges
Annual Water Temperature Trend
Fukuoka, on the northern shore of Kyushu, enjoys a temperate maritime climate that keeps coastal waters relatively mild year-round. Sea surface temperatures typically drop to their lowest in winter, averaging around 12–15 °C in January and February, then rise steadily through spring to roughly 15–21 °C by May. Early summer brings warmer water, with June to August generally between 22 and 28 °C and August sometimes peaking near 28–29 °C. In autumn the sea cools more gradually, with September and October commonly around 23–26 °C and November falling back toward 20–21 °C. These seasonal ranges reflect the influence of warm currents and the sheltering effect of bays, so short-term variation can occur with weather patterns and tides.
