Abstract	Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 4m off Mosterts Hoek (34.1978°S 24.7688°E), along the east coast of South Africa, between 03 November 1993 and 07 March 1994. At selected sites around South Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature 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	A subsurface-mounted UTR was deployed at a depth of 4m off Mosterts Hoek (34.1978°S 24.7688°E), along the east coast of South Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings between 03 November 1993 15h00 and 07 March 1994 10h00.
