Raw data for the calculations made to find the sea surface temperature in Myrtle Beach comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and their 1/4° daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature. SST is one measure that provides information on the global climate, and it can be used to predict the weather in Myrtle Beach as well as atmospheric model simulations and to study marine ecosystems in the area.

The ocean covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, and scientists record the sea surface temperature (SST) of locations such as Myrtle Beach because they want to understand and learn how the ocean communicates with the atomosphere of Earth. Why measure sea surface temperatures (SST) in Myrtle Beach? The lowest is in Prudhoe Bay, where the temperature of the water is -1.07° C (30.07° F). The highest temperature in United States today is 31.04° C (87.87° F) in Apollo Beach. The chart below shows the monthly average water temperature in Myrtle Beach.įor more detailed information on how the sea temperature in Myrtle Beach changes for each month of the year, choose from the months below.

Water temperature in Myrtle Beach by month Strong winds can cause cold, deep waters to replace the surface waters that had been warmed by the sun, and heavy rain can also reduce the temperature of the sea surface temperature as well. The actual nearshore temperatures may vary by several degrees and this can also be heavily affected by weather.
