Is Swanage usually warmer than inland Dorset?

Not always. In summer, sea breezes often keep Swanage a few degrees cooler than inland spots like Wareham. In winter, the sea moderates temperatures, so frost is less common than in the Purbecks.

Where can I find the most accurate tide times for Swanage?

The Met Office and BBC Weather pages include tide tables for Swanage. For detailed tidal streams around Old Harry Rocks, check the UK Hydrographic Office or local harbour master notices.

Does Swanage get fog often?

Sea fog can roll in from the Channel, especially in spring and early summer when warm air meets cooler water. It usually clears by late morning as the land warms, but can linger near the coast.
