Annual Water Temperature Trend

Daytona Beach, on Florida’s Atlantic coast, is known for its wide, hard-packed sandy shorelines and year-round coastal access. The local ocean temperatures are moderated by the nearby Gulf Stream, so the water tends to stay relatively mild compared with more northern beaches. Seasonal averages typically run from about 14–20°C in winter, rising to roughly 18–24°C in spring. Summer months usually see the warmest water, often around 24–30°C, while autumn temperatures generally sit between 21–27°C as the ocean slowly cools. Short-term variations occur with weather patterns and occasional cold fronts, but overall the sea remains swimmable for much of the year.
