This page needs JavaScript to show today’s readings. Without it you can still read everything about a place — where it is, how it is classified, what discharges near it — but no warning, verdict or live reading will appear, and a blank space here does not mean the water is clear.

The spill record

How often the storm overflows near each bathing water spilled, every year since 2020. The Environment Agency decides which overflows belong to which beach and publishes the counts; this page is those counts, joined to the beaches and put in one table. In 2025, 327 bathing waters had 36,521 counted spills between them.

This is not a league table. Ranking beaches by spill hours rewards the one with the fewest working monitors, so the table opens alphabetically and you can sort it yourself. A year is also not a day: for what is happening now, open the beach.

Take the data

Everything in this table, as a spreadsheet: spills-by-bathing-water.csv. More of it, and what you may do with it, on the open data page.

A dash means there was no return for that beach that year, which is not the same as a year with no spills. Figures are the Environment Agency’s Event Duration Monitoring annual returns; England and Wales only, because Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic publish nothing comparable.
