Best time to visit Geraldton

January is the best month in Geraldton, scoring 97 out of 100, with July the weakest at 78. The 19-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 8 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

February is the warmest month at 25.8 °C and August the coolest at 19.2 °C — a 6.6 °C spread across the year.

There is a real wet season here. June to August carry the rain — up to 11 wet days in a month — while January, February, March, April, October, November and December drop as low as 2. That 9-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Geraldton, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea is comfortable for swimming in January, February, March, April, May, June, July and December — 23.7 °C at its warmest against 19.9 °C at its coldest. The water peaks a month or two after the air does, so the best swimming falls later in the year than the best weather. Daylight runs from 10.3 hours in winter to 14 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are January, February, March. The one to think twice about is July. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
