Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Saturday afternoon's tide at 13:15 on 19/02/2022 is forecast to be higher than normal and similar to Friday afternoon 18/02/2022. Gale Force 8 South Westerly winds and large waves increase tide table values by 0.55 m. The total forecast tide is 6.28 metres Chart Datum (3.23 mAOD) at Littlehampton. For 1 hour either side of high water, a small amount of water will affect Mill Lane, Sidlesham, potentially making access temporarily more difficult. Strong winds and large waves will generate lots of spray affecting the beach top properties and nearby roads in Selsey, Pagham, Bognor and Elmer. Friday evening’s tide will be 50cm lower than Friday afternoon. Strong winds and large waves will continue over the weekend, albeit not as extreme. After Saturday, the next highest tide is forecast to be 20cm lower, on Monday afternoon. However, spray and minor flood impacts will continue this weekend. We continue to monitor the forecast. If you have it, please install flood protection 1 hour before high tide. Avoid driving on Mill Lane at high tide. We will update this message by 20:00 on 19/02/2022
