What is the weather like in West Wittering today?
The live forecast above shows the current outlook for the immediate hours ahead.

Before heading to the beach, check both the forecast and local tide timetables — the RNLI advises updating your check closer to the time.
How does the coastline affect the climate?
Exposed to south-westerlies, West Wittering enjoys milder winters than inland West Sussex but cooler summers when sea breezes set in.
