Flooding expected. Take action now.
Wednesday's early morning tide at 01:00 on 10/04/2024 is higher than normal due to unsettled weather with strong Westerly Force 5 winds and large waves. The weather increases tide table values by 0.19 m. The total forecast tide is 6.30 metres Chart Datum (3.25 mAOD) at Littlehampton. Approximately 40cm lower than Monday night. For 2 hours either side of high tide, flood impacts are expected. Water could find its way behind the beach and flow over nearby land and fields including at Climping Street Car Park, Mill Lane, and affect properties on Climping Street. Water could flow through ditches and over fields towards Littlehampton. Wednesday's afternoon tide at 13:30 on 10/04/2024 is forecast to be very similar (3.31 mAOD). Flood impacts are expected again. Flood impacts could continue until Friday 12/04/2024. We continue to monitor the forecast and routinely check the condition of the beach at Climping. Access could be restricted during and after high tide. Take care if visiting Climping beach. We will update this message by 18:00 on 10/04/2024.
