Abstract	Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 3m off Ystervarkpunt (34.395°S; 21.7305°E), along the south coast of South Africa, between 21 June 2007 and 18 November 2010. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperatures in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures.
Methods	Subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder(s) (UTR) were deployed at a depth of 3m off Ystervarkpunt (34.395°S; 21.7305°E), along the south coast of South Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings between 21 June 2007 17h00 and 18 November 2010 09h00.
