Looking to find out what the sea water temperature in Currumbin is for today and the next few days? Below are data and charts that will give you information about sea temperatures in Currumbin and nearby locations.
Water temperature in Currumbin right now
Below is the current sea temperature for Currumbin, Australia on 27th January 2023.
26.89° C
(80.41° F)
- yesterday: 26.79° C (80.23° F)
- a week ago: 25.87° C (78.57° F)
This water temperature is comparable to that of a swimming pool, but it might be higher than most open water swimmers prefer for serious swimming. Make sure to drink plenty of water before and after swimming and don't wear a wetsuit to avoid overheating.
The average sea temperature for Currumbin on January 27th over the last 10 years is 26.75° C (80.16° F), with a low temperature of 25.13° C (77.23° F) and a high of 27.47° C (81.45° F).
Analysis and forecast for Currumbin water temperatures
The water temperature in Currumbin today is higher than the average temperature of 26.75° C (80.16° F) and the temperature on this day last year, 27th January 2022, was 26.92° C (80.46° F).
The chart and table below shows the change in water temperature in Currumbin over the last 30 days:
The actual nearshore temperatures may vary by several degrees and this can also be heavily affected by weather. Strong winds can cause cold, deep waters to replace the surface waters that had been warmed by the sun, and heavy rain can also reduce the temperature of the sea surface temperature as well.

Why measure sea surface temperatures (SST) in Currumbin?
The ocean covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, and scientists record the sea surface temperature (SST) of locations such as Currumbin because they want to understand and learn how the ocean communicates with the atomosphere of Earth.
SST is one measure that provides information on the global climate, and it can be used to predict the weather in Currumbin as well as atmospheric model simulations and to study marine ecosystems in the area.
Data source and citation
Raw data for the calculations made to find the sea surface temperature in Currumbin comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and their 1/4° daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature.
The water temperature data is constructed by combining observations from different platforms (satellites, ships, buoys, and Argo floats) on a regular global grid. A spatially complete sea surface temperature map is then built by interpolating to fill in gaps in the data.
