Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Thursday's early morning tide at 00:15 on 02/01/2025 is higher than normal due to unsettled weather with strong Westerly Force 5 winds and large waves. The weather increases tide table values by 0.41 m. The total forecast tide is 6.87 metres Chart Datum (3.35 mAOD) at Newhaven. For 2 hours either side of high water, spray overtopping will affect Marine Parade and the Esplanade at Seaford sea front. It is possible that water will flow beyond the sea front, and towards roads near the junction of Steyne Road and Fitzgerald Avenue. Thursday afternoon's tide at 12:30 02/01/2025 is forecast to be 22 cm lower (3.13 mAOD). No further flood impacts are expected. We continue to monitor the forecast. At low tide we will check and work to maintain the condition of the shingle beach which helps to protect the town from flooding. Avoid Seaford sea front at high tide. Flood water and stormy seas are dangerous and can sweep you off your feet. Spray will scatter shingle. We will remove this message by 10:00 on 02/01/2025.
