Flooding expected. Take action now.
High spring tides and a tidal surge may lead to overtopping of sea defences. The forecast high water for tonight, Wednesday 11/03/20, has just peaked but levels may still remain high. For tomorrow, the forecast high water is at 08:45 with a level of 7.41 mAOD and a Force 5 West South Westerly wind. All times are local and refer to the high water time at Hinkley and mAOD is height above average sea level. The forecast tide level is predicted to just reach the warning threshold at a level similar to the tide tonight. There is the possibility of flooding to the most vulnerable seafront properties and low lying areas for the coastline between South Esplanade and Berrow including Margaret Crescent, Pier Street, Abingdon Street, The Esplanade, College Street and Regent Street.
We are closely monitoring the situation and we have operational gangs on the ground to monitor the tides and any impacts. Please be careful along beaches, promenades and coastal footpaths and roads.
