Sandstone Point is currently seeing fine, settled conditions, with the live forecast above showing a mild day typical of late autumn. This coastal pocket near Bribie Island tends to stay a degree or two warmer than inland parts of the Brisbane region, thanks to the moderating influence of the bay.
What’s driving the weather around Sandstone Point right now?
A broad ridge of high pressure sitting over the Coral Sea is keeping things stable across south-east Queensland. This means light easterly breezes off the bay, mostly clear skies, and no rain in sight for the immediate forecast. You’ll notice the mornings are getting noticeably crisper as we head deeper into the dry season, but afternoons still reach a pleasant warmth before the sea breeze kicks in.

How does Sandstone Point’s coastal position affect the forecast?
Sitting right on the Pumicestone Passage, Sandstone Point gets a reliable afternoon sea breeze that can drop the temperature by a few degrees compared to places like Caboolture further inland. The water temperature in the passage also stays relatively mild through winter, which helps keep overnight minimums a touch higher than you’d expect for this latitude. If you’re comparing conditions, nearby Bribie Island weather often mirrors Sandstone Point almost exactly, while Gold Coast weather can differ due to more exposed ocean influences.
What’s the best time of year to visit Sandstone Point?
Autumn and spring offer the most comfortable conditions, with daytime highs between 22 and 27 degrees Celsius and low humidity. Winters are mild but can be windy along the passage, while summer brings humidity and the chance of afternoon storms.
Does Sandstone Point get much rain in winter?
Winter is the dry season here. Average monthly rainfall drops to around 40–50 millimetres from June through August, much lower than the summer months. Most winter days are clear and sunny, ideal for outdoor activities along the waterfront.
Is the Sandstone Point weather radar reliable for planning a day out?
You can use the sandstone point weather radar from the Bureau of Meteorology for real-time tracking, but for the coast, it’s worth remembering that sea breezes can create light showers that don’t always show up clearly on radar until they’re close to shore.
