St James Location

-34.1197, 18.4551

-34.11973, 18.45505 View on OpenStreetMap →

St James sits at -34.1197°N, 18.4551°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.
