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
Clevedon sits on the edge of the Severn Estuary in North Somerset, where the dramatic tidal range and open estuary conditions strongly influence water temperature and bathing conditions. Seasonal sea temperatures around Clevedon typically range from about 6–9 °C in winter (December–February), rising to roughly 8–12 °C in spring (March–May). In summer (June–August) the water can reach approximately 14–18 °C on the warmest weeks, while autumn (September–November) usually sees temperatures settle between about 10–14 °C. These figures can vary year to year and change locally with tides, river outflow and weather, so the water you encounter at the shore can feel noticeably colder or warmer depending on timing and conditions.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming and beach holidays in Clevedon are shaped by those tidal and temperature factors. At low tide the shoreline is wide and exposed, while high tide brings deeper water closer to the promenade and pier; swimmers should plan around tidal states and be aware of strong currents in the estuary. Summer offers the most comfortable conditions for open-water dips, but even then many visitors prefer wetsuits for longer swims. The mix of sandy and pebbly areas makes for pleasant beach strolls and short swims, and the promenade, family-friendly facilities and coastal views suit day visitors. As with any tidal location, checking local conditions, observing signage and erring on the side of caution after heavy rain or during strong tides will make a visit safer and more enjoyable.
