About this app

Find your next swim. Wild Open Water maps 15,000+ verified swimming spots across the UK and Ireland — beaches, lakes, rivers, lochs, lidos and tidal pools — with live tides, sea and lake temperature, swell, weather and water quality, plus reports from swimmers who were just there.

KNOW WHEN IT'S RIGHT
Every spot has its own live conditions page, so you can decide before you drive:
- Tide times and tide predictions for every beach and coastal spot
- Sea temperature from satellite and buoy data; lake and river temperature from scientific models
- Wind, swell and marine conditions plus a local weather forecast
- Water quality classifications and river levels (England, Scotland and Wales)
- Confidence and data-source indicators, so you know how much to trust each reading
- Wild Pro unlocks the full 7-day outlook for planning the week ahead
