Port Stephens enjoys a temperate climate with warm summers and mild winters. The coastal location moderates temperatures, meaning it rarely gets too hot or too cold. Expect sunny days year-round, with most rainfall occurring in the summer months, often in short, intense bursts.
The shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) offer the best balance of pleasant weather for outdoor activities and fewer crowds than summer.
Summer (December to February) is the peak season in Port Stephens, characterised by warm to hot temperatures, perfect for beach activities and water sports, but expect larger crowds and higher accommodation prices.
Winter (June to August) is the off-season, offering cooler but still mild temperatures, fewer visitors, and often the best conditions for whale watching as the migration passes the coast.
