Lennox Head Beach: Weather Today

📅 Monday, September 7, 2026
Today at Lennox Head Beach, conditions are best suited for a casual coastal walk rather than a full day of lounging by the water. While the air temperature reaching 22.4 °C feels pleasant, the significant wave height creates rough surf conditions that are not ideal for casual swimming. You can expect a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day, so keep in mind the UV Index of 6.85 and remember to protect your skin. A light breeze is present, though it may pick up at times. With the sea temperature at 21.0 °C, the water is just cool enough to be considered swimmable, but given the swell, please stay cautious near the shoreline. Overall, it is an average day where staying on the sand is likely more enjoyable than heading into the surf.
