Cabarita Beach weather today is mild and partly cloudy, as shown in the live forecast above. Located on the Tweed Coast in northern New South Wales, this beach town enjoys a subtropical climate with warm, humid summers and mild, dry winters.
What makes Cabarita Beach weather different from Sydney or Gold Coast weather?
Cabarita Beach sits between the larger centres of Kingscliff and the Gold Coast, so its weather is often similar to that region, but slightly more sheltered from south-easterly swells. Summer highs typically reach 28°C with sea breezes, while winter afternoon temperatures hover around 20°C. Unlike Sydney weather, which can be more variable due to its latitude, Cabarita Beach tends to be a few degrees warmer year-round. The Gold Coast weather just north is often echoed here, but Cabarita receives marginally less summer rain.
