Summers (December–February) bring warm days with an average high around 26°C, often cooled by a northeasterly sea breeze. Winters (June–August) are mild, with lows near 8°C and calm mornings. The beach receives moderate rainfall all year, with a wetter period in autumn and early winter.

How does wind affect Lighthouse Beach?
Wind is a key factor here. Afternoons often bring a fresh seabreeze from the northeast, which can strengthen to 20–30 km/h. This makes the beach popular for windsurfing and kiteboarding. Morning winds are typically lighter. Check lighthouse beach wind conditions in the live forecast to plan your visit. Strong southerly changes can trigger a severe weather warning, especially in spring.
Is Lighthouse Beach safe for swimming?
Yes, the beach is patrolled by lifeguards during summer holidays and on weekends. Swim between the flags. Be aware of rips near the northern end, especially when the seabreeze picks up.
When is the best time to visit?
Late summer and early autumn (February–April) offer warm water, lighter winds in the morning, and fewer crowds. Winter is fine for walks and whale watching, but the water is cooler.
