Check the live forecast above before heading out – coastal conditions around Rhyll change quickly, so plan your trip around the tide and wind shifts.
What is today’s weather pattern for Rhyll?
Rhyll sits on the sheltered north-east coast of Phillip Island, so its weather is often milder than the open Bass Strait side. The live forecast above shows the temperature, wind speed and direction, and any rain expected. Morning sea breezes often build from the north-east, then swing south-westerly by afternoon, a typical pattern that can bring cooler air later in the day.
- Wind direction shifts from north-east to south-west as the day progresses – check the live forecast for exact timing.
- Rhyll’s proximity to Western Port means fog or low cloud can linger in winter mornings.
- Summer afternoons are often fresher than inland areas, thanks to the sea breeze.
- If you’re fishing or boating, combine the live forecast with Weather 10 Days for extended planning.
How do tides affect Rhyll?
Tides strongly influence conditions at Rhyll – especially for beach walks, kayaking and the local jetty. The rhyll tides rise and fall roughly twice daily, and low tide exposes extensive mudflats popular with birdwatchers. Check a tide chart alongside the live forecast above.
- Low tide exposes the Rhyll Inlet mudflats – best for walking and birdwatching.
- High tide brings deeper water near the jetty, ideal for launching small craft.
- Strong onshore winds can push water higher than predicted – always check the rhyll weather station for real-time gusts.
- The rhyll weather radar (available on Bureau of Meteorology) helps spot approaching showers moving across Western Port.
Does Rhyll get much rain?
Rhyll averages about 650–750 mm of rain per year, fairly evenly spread. Winter sees the most rain, often as steady drizzle driven by north-westerly winds. The live forecast above shows any rain expected today.
How windy does Rhyll get?
