Abstract	Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 28m off Hout Bay (34.05°S 18.3167°E), along the west coast of South Africa, between 07 February 1992 and 15 June 1992. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m.
Methods	A subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed at a depth of 28m off Hout Bay (34.05°S; 18.3167°E), along the west coast of South Africa. The instrument measured hourly temperature readings between 07 February 1992 14h00 and 15 June 1992 14h00.
