This is especially true after heavy rain, close to river mouths or after long periods of strong offshore winds. Surfers should use a 2mm long sleeve shorty or a 3/2mm spring wetsuit if the wind is up.Īctual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Daytona Beach can vary by several degrees compared with these open water averages. Daytona Beach sea temperatures are minimum in early to mid February. Even then a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year. Year round warm sea temperatures at Daytona Beach climb to their maximum in the fourth week of July. We have calculated the average water temperature variation around the year as well as the extremes that have been observed on each date.Īll of the graphs for the surf breaks presented on are on the same scale to enable comparison between locations around the world.ĭaytona Beach sea temperatures peak in the range 28 to 30☌ (82 to 86☏) on around the 26th of July and are at their minimum on about the 10th of February, in the range 19 to 22☌ (66 to 72☏). This has been derived from analysis of two decades of oceanographic satellite measurements of nearby open water.
