Forecast data from Open-Meteo, updated every 30 minutes. For the high moor, check the Met Office forecast for an upland spot such as Danby or Sutton Bank as well, and remember it is often colder and windier on the tops.
🌊 Tide times
The beaches at Robin Hood's Bay, Runswick Bay, Saltwick and Boggle Hole are all cut off at high tide, so check before you set out. Official predictions:
- Whitby: Admiralty EasyTide · tidetimes.org.uk
- Scarborough: Admiralty EasyTide · tidetimes.org.uk
- Redcar (for Saltburn and Staithes): Admiralty EasyTide · tidetimes.org.uk
Robin Hood's Bay, Sandsend and Saltwick follow Whitby within a few minutes. Staithes, Runswick and Saltburn are closer to Redcar. The beach walk from Robin Hood's Bay to Boggle Hole is safe for roughly two hours either side of low water.
