## What is Jersey Beach, Weather & Tides?

Your day on the beach in Jersey — in one glance.

Jersey Beach App answers the question every islander asks: which beach is best
right now? Every bay faces a different way, so the same wind that ruins St
Ouen's can leave Grouville glassy. We read the live wind and rank all 18
beaches by shelter — calmest at the top, blown-out at the bottom.

IS THE CAUSEWAY STILL WALKABLE?
• Elizabeth Castle, St Aubin's Fort, Corbière and the Havre des Pas pool
• Whether the crossing is open right now, and the minute it closes
• Thresholds are Ports of Jersey's own survey figures, never our estimates
• Marina gates too — they work the other way round
• If the tide data looks wrong it says so, rather than guessing

RAIN RADAR
• The last two hours of rain over Jersey and the Channel, playing as a loop
• See a shower coming off the Atlantic while it is still out there

TODAY AT A GLANCE
• Temperature and feels-like, UV index with sun-safety advice
• Wind, gusts and direction on a compass
• Sea temperature and swell
• Sunrise, sunset, and the next 12 hours hour by hour

THE BEST BEACH, RIGHT NOW
• All 18 of Jersey's beaches ranked live by wind shelter
• How much wind you will actually feel on the sand
• Re-rank for what you are doing: sunbathing, a walk, the dog, a surf, a coffee
• Lifeguard cover, dog rules that change with the season and the hour,
  parking, how hard the walk down is, and the rips worth knowing about

BEST TIMES TO GO
• The best windows in the next 24 hours for a swim or a dog walk
• Scored on temperature, wind, rain, UV and the tide — each with its reason

TIDES, MOON AND SPRING TIDES
• A 24-hour tide curve for St Helier, next high and low water, rising or falling
• Tonight's moon phase, and the spring–neap outlook
• When the fortnight's biggest tides arrive, and with them the lowest water
  for fishing, rock pools and reef walks

BATHING WATER QUALITY
• The Government of Jersey's weekly bacteria samples, shown unaltered
• Always with the date the sample was taken
• Nothing shown for the bays they do not sample — we will not borrow a
  neighbour's reading and call it yours

THE ISLAND, MAPPED
• Every bay, wind shelter at a glance, and live wind arrows across the island
• Public toilets, the nearest bus stops, and which traders are out today
• Tiles are cached, so the map still works down on the sand with no signal

A NUDGE WORTH HAVING
• An optional morning heads-up on genuinely good beach days
• Warnings for big spring tides and strong winds. Nothing else, ever.

ON THE SAND
• Which food trucks, beach cafes and shops are open today, and their specials

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-25

Adverts from local Jersey businesses can now be short, silent videos — and they keep their place as you move around the app, instead of starting from the beginning on every screen.

Also in this update:

• The app opens with one clean logo moment, then gets straight to the weather.
• Groundwork so each advertiser's time on screen can be set individually.
• New screenshots on this page — the app has grown a lot since the last set.

Thank you to everyone sending feedback — the tide and wind corrections in the last update came straight from a Jersey boat operator, and this app is better for every message.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-19

Tide heights are more accurate. Our high-water figures were reading around half a metre low against Jersey's published tide table — enough to matter if you're near a causeway or a drying rock. They now match it closely. Always check official tide tables before going out on the water.

Also in this update:

• The rain radar plays smoothly instead of flickering between frames.
• Wind now shows knots alongside mph, with the Beaufort force number — and the wind description no longer disagrees with the speed beside it.
• Adverts from local businesses appear as soon as they go live, instead of waiting for the next time you opened the app fresh.
• The app now asks, once, whether you'd like to rate it — only after it's actually been useful.

Thank you to the Jersey boat operator who spotted the tide readings, and to everyone who sends feedback. It's how the app gets better.

### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-11

Fixed a crash: opening the last day of the forecast could close the app. The forecast doesn't always reach the end of that day, and the beach ratings now simply leave out the hours it hasn't reached instead of trying to score them.

Also in this update:

• The rain outlook now sits above the best-beach card on Today, so you see whether it's going to rain before you see where to go.
• Adverts open only from their button now — no more leaving the app by tapping the picture.

Plus everything from the last update, if you haven't seen it yet: the sky fading gently between dawn, day, golden hour and night, rain radar on the map, live wind arrows across the island, bathing water quality on beach pages, and a photo competition — send us a photo of your beach and it could win the spot on that page.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-11

The sky now fades gently between dawn, day, golden hour and night instead of switching in one step — and dawn finally has its own colours.

Also in this update:

• Fixed: the alert switches on the More page were nearly invisible when turned off.
• Fixed: the rain radar's timeline was hard to see and hard to drag.
• Fixed: on some phones the best-times window overlapped the activity name.

Plus everything from the last update, if you haven't seen it yet: rain radar on the map, live wind arrows across the island, bathing water quality on beach pages, and a photo competition — send us a photo of your beach and it could win the spot on that page.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-05

Tide-safe causeways, moon phases and real Jersey photos.

• Causeway and marina gate times — see at a glance whether Elizabeth Castle, St Aubin's Fort, Corbière or the Havre des Pas walkway is open, and exactly when it floods. Warns you when there isn't time to get out and back.
• Moon phase and the spring–neap outlook on the Tides page, for anglers and rock-poolers.
• Spring tide alerts a couple of days ahead of the biggest tides.
• Corbière Lighthouse now has its own page.
• Real photographs of Jersey beaches are starting to arrive.
• The whole app now takes its colour from the sky — dawn, day, golden hour and night.
• Better beach ranking: the calmest beach now genuinely wins, and every "best beach" says which hours it means.
