Yanakie’s conditions today are mild with patchy cloud, as shown in the live forecast above. This coastal corner of Corner Inlet, just south of Foster and at the gateway to Wilsons Promontory, can see rapid changes when sea breezes arrive. The current outlook points to a settled day ahead.

What is Yanakie’s climate like?

Yanakie sits on the western edge of Corner Inlet, giving it a mild oceanic climate with warm summers and cool, damp winters. Summer highs typically hover in the low to mid-20s Celsius, while winter days often stay in the low teens. Rain is spread year-round, but the wettest months are usually winter and spring, when cold fronts move across Bass Strait.

The local air is often clean and fresh, and the breeze can pick up quickly in the afternoon. Those checking the Melbourne weather for comparison will notice Yanakie tends to be a couple of degrees cooler thanks to its proximity to the coast.

What is the best time to visit Yanakie?
