The unsettled weather which brought strong winds and elevated tide levels along the south coast this week has now cleared the area. Saturday's afternoon tide at 15:45 on 13/04/2024 will be accompanied by strong South Westerly Force 5 winds. The weather will not change tide table values. The total forecast tide is 4.46 metres Chart Datum (1.73 mAOD) at Chichester Harbour. Approximately 1.2m lower than Monday evening. Only minor spray is expected to affect beach top properties at Medmerry and only minimal flood impacts are expected. Tides will now fall over the week ahead. We continue to monitor the forecast. We will re issue this Flood Alert if the risk of flooding becomes possible.
