Water temperature in Green Island right now
Below is the current sea temperature for Green Island, Australia on 10th November 2024.
26.76° C
(80.17° F)
- yesterday: 26.69° C (80.05° F)
- a week ago: 27.15° C (80.87° 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 Green Island on November 10th over the last 10 years is 27.3° C (81.14° F), with a low temperature of 26.37° C (79.47° F) and a high of 29.36° C (84.85° F).
Analysis and forecast for Green Island water temperatures
The water temperature in Green Island today is lower than the average temperature of 27.3° C (81.14° F) and the temperature on this day last year, 10th November 2023, was 26.74° C (80.13° F).
The chart and table below shows the change in water temperature in Green Island 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 Green Island?
The ocean covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, and scientists record the sea surface temperature (SST) of locations such as Green Island 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 Green Island 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 Green Island 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.
