Scarborough sea conditions for swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking

Live Scarborough 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.

Scarborough is divided into North Bay and South Bay by the castle headland, with the harbour and pier adding further changes along the waterfront. The two bays can face different wind and swell angles, so conditions in one are not necessarily a guide to the other.

Local practical checks

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