As a result of high spring tides and strong winds, tides will be at their highest this evening at 09:30PM on 29/09/2023. Flooding is possible at Christchurch Harbour and tidal stretches of the Lower Stour and Avon from 08:00 PM until 10:30 PM on 29/09/2023 with the local tide level forecast to reach 1.23m. The high tides on Saturday evening are expected to be higher than normal and may result in us issuing a further alert. Areas most at risk include Christchurch Harbour and tidal stretches of the Lower Stour and Avon. We are closely monitoring the situation remotely. We are not expecting to shut pedestrian tide gates this evening but will monitor closely. Consider activating any property flood protection products. This message will be updated by 10:00 AM on 30/09/2023, or as the situation changes.
