Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Wednesday afternoon's tide at 12:00 on 01/01/2025 is higher than normal due to unsettled weather with strong South Westerly Force 7 winds and large waves. The weather increases tide table values by 0.33 m. The total forecast tide is 5.03 metres Chart Datum (2.30 mAOD) at Portsmouth. For 30 minutes either side of high water, spray overtopping of sea defence walls into low lying coastal roads between Hillhead and Gosport, namely Cliff Road and Stokes Bay Road is expected. At Hillhead, low lying Sea front car parks may flood for a very short period of time. Property flooding is not expected. Thursday's tide at 00:15 02/01/2025 is forecast to be 4 cm higher (2.34 mAOD) but impacts will reduce with force 3 winds. Unsettled weather on New Years day will bring 10-15mm of rainfall to the area, with isolated higher totals of 20mm being possible. Thursday and Friday are forecast to be dry. We continue to monitor the forecast. Please avoid Gosport and Hillhead sea front at high tide. We will remove this message by 16:00 on 01/01/2025.
