Mooloolaba Beach: Weather Today

📅 Wednesday, September 23, 2026
Today is a mediocre day for a beach visit at Mooloolaba Beach, as conditions remain quite unsettled. You can expect a mix of cloud and light showers throughout the day, which will likely keep you away from the sand for long periods. With the maximum air temperature reaching 22.7 °C and the water sitting at 21.5 °C, it is technically warm enough for a quick dip, though the water will feel quite brisk. Strong breezes are expected, and with wave heights becoming somewhat choppy, swimming should be approached with extra caution. If you do head out, remember that the UV Index is 6.3, so sun protection is essential even through the clouds. Overall, it is probably a better day to enjoy a coffee with a view rather than planning a full day of lounging by the shore.
