    Jimmys sea water temperatures peak in the range 29 to 30°C (84 to 86°F) on around the 3rd of May and are at their minimum on about the 14th of September, in the range 25 to 29°C (77 to 84°F). Year round warm sea water temperatures at Jimmys mean that a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year

    Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Jimmys can vary by several degrees compared with these open water averages. This is especially true after heavy rain, close to river mouths or after long periods of strong offshore winds. Offshore winds cause colder deep water to replace surface water that has been warmed by the sun. Air temperature, wind-chill and sunshine should also be considered before deciding on the kind of wetsuit needed to stay warm when surfing at Jimmys.
