Newquay sea weather & tides

Newquay sea conditions for swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking

Live Newquay 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.

Newquay’s beaches face different directions along an exposed Atlantic coastline, with bays separated by headlands and cliffs. Swell, surf and wind can vary substantially between nearby beaches, so the town-level outlook should be combined with a local surf forecast, lifeguard information and an assessment at the exact beach.

Local practical checks

• Check the individual bay and its headland exposure rather than treating Newquay as one uniform beach.
• Look at swell and surf information as well as wind, tide and rain before choosing a route.

The outlook uses provider-backed weather and tide information for Newquay and the nearby north Cornwall coast. Use the five-day selector to compare the returned forecast days. A suggested window is planning information, not a safety decision.
