Worthing sea weather & tides

Worthing sea conditions for swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking

Live Worthing 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.

Worthing faces the English Channel from a predominantly shingle shoreline. Worthing Pier and the groynes divide the open seafront into sections, while tide height can change the available beach and entry route. Wind direction and chop may feel different from one access point to another, so compare the outlook with the exact place you intend to use and what you see on arrival.

Local practical checks

• Check the section of seafront around your chosen access point, pier or groynes rather than treating the whole frontage as identical.
• Allow for the tide to change the shingle beach, waterline and ease of getting in or out.
• Compare the wind direction with the open frontage because cross-shore or onshore wind may change chop and the return route.

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