It's much colder in the winter than the deeper water at the more famous Forty Foot. Conversely in the summer, it's much warmer. This is due to the fact that the beach is long and flat, and the sea water inches up to the high tide level over cold to freezing sand, getting chilled even more. In January, February, and March, I never swim at Seapoint, but instead head the 3 kilometres east-south-east to Sandycove.
