Kurnell Location

-34.0116, 151.2069

-34.01159, 151.20686 View on OpenStreetMap →

Kurnell sits at -34.0116°N, 151.2069°E, on the coast of New South Wales, Australia. 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.
