Littlehampton sea weather & tides

Littlehampton sea conditions for swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking

Live Littlehampton forecast: Today and tomorrow’s temperature, rain chance, wind speed and direction, tide times, water-quality checks and activity windows load in the outlook above.

Littlehampton is where the River Arun meets the Channel, with a harbour and beaches on either side of the estuary. The river mouth, harbour walls and broad sandy or shingle areas can create different local conditions, so wind and tide information should be matched to the exact side of the waterfront you plan to use.

Local practical checks

• Check whether your route crosses or approaches the Arun mouth, where tidal flow may differ from the open beach.
• Allow for the tide to alter the shape of the beach and the distance to the water.
