Sidmouth Beach Swimming Forecast
Sidmouth · United Kingdom
Sidmouth Beach scores 75/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces S. A sheltered, south-southeast-facing beach of steep shingle giving way to sand at low tide, split into small bays by rock groynes. Surf is infrequent, needing a substantial swell or easterly wind-swell, best at mid-tide; otherwise suited to swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking. Lifeguard cover runs only in school summer holidays. Easterly winds bring rip currents between beach and rock islands; a stretch past the river mouth is closed for cliff-fall risk.
