Flooding expected. Take action now.
Tuesday's early morning tide at 00:15 on 09/04/2024 is higher than normal, due to unsettled weather with strong Southerly Force 7 winds and large waves. The weather increases tide table values by 0.76 m. The total forecast tide is 5.75 metres Chart Datum (3.02 mAOD) at Portsmouth. The tide will be the highest ever recorded. For 1 hour either side of high water, property near East Street slipway will flood. In Broad Street and Seager's Court, water will come up through ground floors. The garden of the Still and West pub will also flood. Tidal defence gates will be closed and parking restrictions will be in place. After this tide the weather becomes more settled but minor impacts could continue until Thursday (11/04/2024). We are liaising with the Local Authority over tidal defence gate closures. If you have it, please install flood protection 1 hour before high tide. We will remove this message by 16:00 on 09/04/2024.
