Cullercoats vs Whitley, today

Do not treat Cullercoats and Whitley Bay as one beach. They are one stop apart on the yellow line and they do not share a water class this week.

Cullercoats is still classed Poor, 28 August 2026. Rain-impacted. Whitley Bay is classed Excellent. There is no live sewage spill on either bay. Sources: EA Cullercoats, EA Whitley Bay.

Friday max 20°C; rain about 30% at 11am, then 70–80% mid-afternoon. Sunday is wet, 17°C, 40–80% all day. Monday 31 is the clearer outdoor window: sunny intervals, 20°C, with bank-holiday crowds and Metro on Sunday times. Sea at Longsands is 15.1°C — wetsuit water. Whitley has the funfair on The Links through Monday. Cullercoats this-week listings can be empty; that is correct. Full briefing: Beach.
