Sea temperature, water clarity and waves, updated through the day Wind shelter for each beach: which coves stay calm in today's wind, not just how windy the region is Shade forecast: when the beach falls into shadow from terrain and trees, hour by hour Tides: high and low water with a live curve UV index, air temperature and weather Official bathing-water quality wherever the authorities publish it Official weather warnings Over 21,000 beaches in Croatia, Italy, Greece, Spain and the Canaries, Malta, Slovenia, Albania, Cyprus and Florida. Find your beach on the map by what matters today — water quality, clarity, wind shelter or shade — save favourites, add photos, and suggest beaches that are missing. Premium 7-day forecast for every beach, water clarity outlook, and no ads. Subscribe monthly or yearly with a 7-day free trial, or take the Weekly Pass for a single trip.
