Flooding expected. Take action now.
Tuesday's early morning tide at 00:30 on 09/04/2024 is higher than normal, due to unsettled weather with Gale Force 8 South Westerly winds. The weather increases tide table values by 0.74 m.

For 2 hours either side of high water, deep flooding will occur at Shore Road, Bosham High Street and Gloucester Terrace.

The southern part of Shore Road, near and including Stumps Lane could also see impacts. Tuesday's tide at 12:30 on 09/04/2024 is forecast to be 50cm lower (2.57 mAOD).
