Before you go
- Check official weather, tide, pollution and local safety warnings again.
- Look at the actual sea state, wind and currents when you arrive.
- Choose conditions that fit your experience, health and swimming ability.
- Use suitable equipment, thermal protection and a visible tow float or buoyancy aid where appropriate.
- Tell someone your plan and avoid going alone when the conditions or activity make that unwise.
Know the local risks
Offshore winds, rip currents, cold-water shock, poor visibility, boat traffic, submerged hazards and rapidly moving tides may not be captured by the result shown here. Local knowledge matters.
In an emergency
At the UK coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. Do not enter the water to attempt a rescue unless trained and equipped to do so.
Important: Seyva is not an emergency, navigation, lifeguarding, medical or professional forecasting service.
