Annual Water Temperature Trend

Croyde, on the north Devon coast of England, fronts the Atlantic and is known for its wide sandy bay and strong swell. Because of its exposed position, water temperatures reflect the temperate maritime climate and remain cool for much of the year. Winter months typically see sea temperatures around 8–10 °C, while spring gradually warms to roughly 9–13 °C. In summer the water is at its warmest, commonly ranging between 14–18 °C with the highest values often in July and August, and early autumn usually holds temperatures around 11–15 °C before cooling again. Local conditions can vary daily with tides, wind, and swell, and occasional warmer or cooler spells occur depending on weather patterns.
