It depends upon many factors. Not the least of which is where you
live.
Take a gander at this map:

You may or may not find the temperatures you seek if you live in too
warm of a climate.
To start finding temperatures that don't drastically vary with the
weather or the season you'll probably need to go at least 4ft down.
The type of soil at your site and the height of your water table can
make a big difference too.
Long story short. There's just no substitute for digging a hole and
sticking a thermometer in the ground.
Don't hesitate to take the temperature of well water in your area
too. That can be very educational.
Taking the temperature of the city water tap is much less reliable,
but can give you some limited information. Don't trust it too much.
At least be sure to not take the temperature on a hot day when
everyone is watering lawns. You'll need to let the tap run for a few
minutes to get your pipes to temperature.
