China 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.

China Beach sea temperatures peak in the range 28 to 31°C (82 to 88°F) on around the 10th of August and are at their minimum on about the 4th of February, in the range 22 to 25°C (72 to 77°F). Year round warm sea temperatures at China Beach climb to their maximum in early to mid August. Even then a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year. China Beach sea temperatures are always warm but dip to their minimum in early February. You'll need a 2mm neoprene top or a shorty at dawn/dusk or if it's windy.

Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at China 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 China Beach.
