Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Friday afternoon's tide at 12:15 on 18/02/2022 is higher than normal due to Storm Eunice, which brings Severe Gale Force 9 Westerly winds and very large waves. The weather increases tide table values by 0.64 m. The total forecast tide is 6.31 metres Chart Datum (3.26 mAOD) at Littlehampton. For 2 hours either side of high water, spray overtopping will affect footpaths and esplanades, including Marine Drive at Ferring, West and Marine Parade, Worthing and West Beach and Shoreham Beach, Shoreham. Shingle and ponded water could affect the A259 near Brooklands. Friday evening’s tide will be 50cm lower. However, strong winds and large waves will continue over the weekend, albeit not as extreme. Saturday’s midday tide could see a return of minor flood impacts, when tide levels could be similar to midday Friday. We continue to monitor the forecast. We will inspect the condition of the beach at low tide. Stormy seas are dangerous. Avoid walking along the sea front at high tide, shingle can be contained, carried and thrown in waves and spray. We will update this message by 18:00 on 18/02/2022
