Climate in the Otways
Victoria enjoys a temperate climate and reliable rainfall with four distinct seasons. Here is a guide to the hottest and coolest.
Summer: the average maximum temperature in south-west Victoria across January and February is 25°C. Overnight temperatures vary from 8-15°C.
Winter: June to August are the coldest months in Victoria, with an average maximum temperatures of between 8°C and 13°C.
As with all coastal walking, the weather can be unpredictable at all times of the year. Being cooler makes the walking no less enjoyable. In fact, we find that some of the wildest days lend themselves to walking this rugged coastline - it gives the opportunity to appreciate how a stretch became known as the "Shipwreck Coast".
The use of a weather proof jacket is included for all our guests, and we require walkers to bring thermal underwear along at all times of the year, just in case!
