Tyne and Wear · open water conditions information
Whitburn (Whitburn) is a coastal location in Tyne and Wear, one of 12 Tyne and Wear spots covered by NippyIndex.
The shore faces broadly east, so it is most open to wind and swell arriving from the east.
As a tidal location, its tide predictions are referenced to the nearest tidal station, Sunderland.
NippyIndex draws on published marine and weather data (sea state, wave information and water temperature), UKHO tidal predictions, and — for English coastal locations — Environment Agency bathing-water sampling where available.
