Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear.

It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

Annual Water Temperature Trend

Brookings sits on Oregon’s southern coast where the Pacific and the mouth of the Chetco River meet, producing a mix of cool ocean and sometimes warmer river waters. Sea surface temperatures along the shore are generally cool year-round: in winter months they typically range around 8–10 °C, in spring about 9–12 °C, in summer commonly 11–15 °C, and in autumn roughly 10–13 °C. Local variations occur with tides, upwelling and occasional warm-air events, and the river mouth can be noticeably warmer than open ocean water during late spring and summer when freshwater runoff raises temperatures locally.
