El Miramar 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.

El Miramar sea water temperatures peak in the range 23 to 29°C (73 to 84°F) on around the 6th of March and are at their lowest on about the 2nd of September, in the range 19 to 24°C (66 to 75°F). Year round warm sea water temperatures at El Miramar climb to their warmest in the first week of March. Even then a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year. El Miramar sea water temperatures are lowest in early September. Surfers should use a 2mm long sleeve shorty or a 3/2mm spring wetsuit if the wind is up.

Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at El Miramar 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 El Miramar.
