Jersey Beach, Weather & Tides

About 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

EVERY BAY, NAMED
St Ouen's Bay, St Brelade's Bay, Portelet, Beauport, Petit Port, Ouaisné,
St Aubin's Bay, Havre des Pas, Green Island, La Rocque and Seymour, the Royal
Bay of Grouville, Anne Port, St Catherine's Bay, Rozel, Bouley Bay, Bonne Nuit,
Grève de Lecq, Plémont and Corbière. Nineteen in all, each with its own wind
shelter, tide times, dog rules, parking and lifeguard cover — not one generic
island forecast stretched over the lot.

WHO IT IS FOR
Swimmers and sea swimmers picking the calmest water. Surfers reading the swell
at Le Braye. Dog walkers who need to know today's beach restrictions before
they set off. Families after low tide and the rock pools. Anglers watching for
the big spring tides. Visitors who have never seen the island and want the
sheltered side of it on a windy afternoon.
