Methods for detecting spin waves rely on electrodynamical coupling between the spin wave dipolar field and an inductive probe. While this coupling is usually treated as constant, in this work, we experimentally and theoretically show that it is indeed temperature dependent. By measuring the spin wave magnetic field as a function of temperature of, and distance to the sample, we demonstrate that there is both a longitudinal and transversal confinement of the field near the YIG-Air interface. Our results are relevant for spin wave detection, in particular in the field of spin wave caloritronics
