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
Ocean Park, on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula, sits on the exposed Pacific coast and experiences the cool marine conditions typical of the region. Surface water temperatures near the shore usually range from about 7–9°C in winter, rise to roughly 8–12°C in spring, reach their warmest in summer at approximately 12–15°C, and fall back to around 10–13°C in autumn. These figures can vary year to year and from day to day due to upwelling, currents and weather patterns, so occasional cooler or slightly warmer readings are possible. The water is generally cold even in the warmest months compared with more temperate beach destinations, and fog, wind and changing tides frequently influence local conditions.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming at Ocean Park is therefore more an activity for those prepared for chilly water rather than for casual warm-weather bathing. The long, sandy beaches provide ample space for wading, beachcombing and launching surfcraft, and people commonly swim in summer months when temperatures are at their highest, often using wetsuits or drysuits for comfort and safety. Surfing, bodyboarding and kayaking are popular alternatives that make use of the area’s waves and open ocean access. Visitors should be mindful of strong currents, changing tides and limited lifeguard coverage at some locations, check local forecasts and tide charts before entering the water, and consider protective clothing and conservative decision-making to enjoy a beach holiday here safely.
