Cape Agulhas Location

-34.8311, 20.0131

-34.83111, 20.01306 View on OpenStreetMap →

Cape Agulhas sits at -34.8311°N, 20.0131°E, on the coast of South Africa. The marker on the map shows the spot the readings on this page come from. It usually sits a short distance from the town centre, out on the open water itself, so the numbers stay tied to the coast rather than a generic point inland.

Coastlines bend, headlands focus the water, and the temperature can run noticeably differently between two beaches that look close together on a map. Comparing nearby locations is a quick way to see how local geography is shaping the readings.
