Filter by the latest company report. The map follows the filters. This is a location search, not a list of outlets proven to affect Oddicombe, and it does not include every possible source of pollution.
Filters apply to the map and list. Recent stops need a current report and a recorded stop time. They do not show whether water is safe.

Questions about Oddicombe
- Is Oddicombe safe to swim in today?
- This page cannot answer that. The annual classification describes a longer-term record, and an outlet report describes monitor activity at one outlet. Check the official bathing-water profile, local signs and current conditions before entering the water.

- The annual classification is in the highest quality class. The Environment Agency sets the class from water samples taken over several bathing seasons, not from a single visit.
