Annual Water Temperature Trend

Murrays Bay Beach is a small, sheltered beach on Auckland’s North Shore, looking out across the Hauraki Gulf to the Pacific Ocean. Its position within the gulf helps keep conditions relatively calm compared with more exposed coastlines. In summer, particularly from January through March, water temperatures generally range between 19 and 22°C. Most locals find this comfortable for swimming, especially on warm, sunny days when the shallow inshore water can heat up slightly. During autumn, temperatures ease back to around 17 to 20°C. Winter brings cooler readings, typically between 14 and 16°C, while spring sees a gradual rise from roughly 15 up to 18°C as the weather improves.
