Location Statistics

The area has a subtropical climate characterised by hot and humid summers, and mild winters.

There are distinct wet and dry seasons, where winter and early spring tend to be dry with sunny skies and late spring through to autumn tend to be wetter and most of the rains tend to be caused by thunderstorms.

The wet season also carries the risks of cyclones, however these are rare compared to up north. Rather, east coast lows cause more extreme weather events, potentially ex-tropical cyclones in summer, but are usually most commonly caused from passing cold fronts in winter. These lows are a factor that make the wet and dry seasons less pronounced as those seen up north.

The Gold Coast Seaway is exposed to the ocean, but should be fairly representative of the conditions on the coast, noting that it will be calmer inland and at a slightly more extreme temperature range with less ocean buffering.
