Coffs Harbour’s subtropical climate delivers mild winters, warm humid summers and reliable sea breezes. The live forecast above shows today’s conditions for this coastal city, where rain can arrive quickly off the Pacific and clear just as fast.
What drives Coffs Harbour’s weather day to day?
The dominant feature is the offshore trough and ridge pattern moving across the Tasman Sea. When a high sits east of the city, easterly winds bring moist air and showers. When a low moves south, westerlies clear the sky and drop humidity. The coastal range traps cloud against the escarpment, which is why eastern Australia’s weather can shift so abruptly between headlands and hinterland.
When does Coffs get its heaviest rain?
Late summer and early autumn deliver the most rain, often from slow-moving troughs or ex-tropical cyclones. The coffs weather radar at the airport is the best tool for tracking these bands in real time. Winter is the dry season — June through August average only 80–100 mm per month, with crisp mornings and mild afternoons.
Does the water temperature stay warm enough for swimming year-round?
Sea surface temperature ranges from 21 °C in winter to 27 °C in summer. Most locals swim comfortably from November through April, though hardy surfers wear a steamer in winter.
