We have calculated the average water temperature variation around the year as well as the extremes that have been observed on each date.
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.
Wamberal Beach water temperatures peak in the range 22 to 25°C (72 to 77°F) on around the 5th of February and are at their coldest on about the 18th of July, in the range 16 to 20°C (61 to 68°F). Wamberal Beach water temperatures are always warm reach their warmest at the beginning of February. You'll need a 2mm neoprene top or a shorty at dawn/dusk or if it's windy. The coldest Wamberal Beach water temperatures in the third week of July require something like a 3/2mm fully sealed wetsuit.
Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Wamberal 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 Wamberal Beach.
