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. Dunes Cove sea water temperatures peak in the range 27 to 29°C (81 to 84°F) on around the 22nd of July and are at their minimum on about the 4th of March, in the range 18 to 22°C (64 to 72°F). Year round warm sea water temperatures at Dunes Cove climb to their maximum in the second half of July. Even then a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year. The minimum Dunes Cove sea water temperatures in early March require something like a 3/2mm fully sealed wetsuit. Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Dunes Cove 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 Dunes Cove.
