Scarborough, on the Redcliffe Peninsula north of Brisbane, is catching the familiar coastal pattern of Moreton Bay today — the live forecast above shows the current temperature and wind, with conditions shifting as a southeasterly change moves through during the afternoon.
What’s driving today’s weather?
A high-pressure system over the Tasman Sea is keeping a ridge along the Queensland coast, drawing a steady south-easterly breeze across the bay. That airflow is pulling in moisture, keeping skies partly cloudy and temperatures a notch below the inland highs. The Bureau of Meteorology’s bom scarborough qld observations show the sea breeze strengthening through the middle of the day, so expect that breeze to pick up around the jetty and along the foreshore. If you’re heading to the beach or the boat ramp, those south-easterly gusts will be the main feature until evening.
What does the longer outlook look like?
The scarborough qld weather 14 day forecast from the models shows the ridge holding into the weekend, meaning similar days: moderate south-easterlies, partly cloudy mornings clearing to sunny afternoons, and temperatures hovering in the mid‑20s. A weak trough may brush the coast early next week, possibly bringing a brief shower or two, but nothing heavy. Beyond that, the pattern looks stable — typical for late autumn when the trade winds settle in and the humidity drops. For the full picture, check the Brisbane weather page, which covers the broader region including Scarborough.
Does Scarborough get storms like Brisbane’s inner suburbs?
Storms are less frequent here because the bay and the sea breeze often break up developing cells, but when a line of storms pushes off the ranges, Scarborough can still see heavy rain and gusty winds — especially in spring and summer.
What’s the water temperature like for swimming?
Moreton Bay’s water temp sits around 24–26 °C in summer, dropping to 17–19 °C in winter. The best months for swimming are December to April, when the bay is calmest and warmest.
Is the wind always from the south-east?
Not always, but it’s the dominant direction from October to March thanks to the trade‑wind belt. In winter, westerly winds occasionally blow overnight, quickly shifting to a sea‑breeze south‑easterly by late morning.
