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
Burry Port sits on the north side of the Burry Inlet in Carmarthenshire, Wales, with easy access to the broad sands of Cefn Sidan and the sheltered waters around the harbour and Pembrey coast. Sea temperatures around Burry Port follow the typical western Wales pattern and vary through the year: winter months are usually cold, around 6–8 °C, spring brings a gradual rise to roughly 8–12 °C, summer highs commonly reach about 14–17 °C at their warmest, and autumn sees a decline to approximately 10–13 °C. Local conditions such as tidal flows, river inflows into the inlet and short-term weather shifts can change surface temperatures by a degree or two, and shallow shoreline zones warm and cool faster than deeper channels.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming and beach holidays in the Burry Port area suit visitors who expect cooler British coastal water. The long sweep of Cefn Sidan is popular for bathing, walking and water sports, while the harbour and nearby coves offer calmer spots for less exposed swims; popular beaches often have seasonal lifeguard cover and basic visitor facilities at Pembrey Country Park. Because summer water temperatures are generally brisk, many swimmers wear wetsuits outside the warmest weeks, and caution is advised for tides, strong currents in the inlet and variable entry points. Those planning a beach holiday will find sandy shores, parking and summer services, but should check local safety information and water quality before entering the sea.
