Boomer Beach Water Temperature Graph

All of the graphs for the surf breaks presented on Surf-Forecast.com are on the same scale to enable comparison between locations around the world.

Boomer Beach water temperatures peak in the range 18 to 21°C (64 to 70°F) on around the 29th of February and are at their coldest on about the 31st of August, in the range 13 to 15°C (55 to 59°F). The highest Boomer Beach water temperatures in late February require something like a 3/2mm fully sealed wetsuit. The coldest water temperatures at Boomer Beach at the end of August are ideally suited to a 4/3mm wetsuit + 3mm boots, although a 5/3mm wetsuit may be preferable for longer sessions and cold windy days.

Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Boomer Beach can vary by several degrees compared with these open water averages. This is especially true after heavy rain, close to river mouths or after long periods of strong offshore winds. Offshore winds cause colder deep water to replace surface water that has been warmed by the sun. Air temperature, wind-chill and sunshine should also be considered before deciding on the kind of wetsuit needed to stay warm when surfing at Boomer Beach.
