This message has been issued because there is a possibility of some flooding of homes and businesses between 11:45am and 1:45pm today, Monday 10th February.

Areas most at risk are the Golf Course and roads around the Martello Towers in Clacton, as well as Jaywick, Sea Wick, Lee over Sands and holiday parks in those areas. The detailed forecast for those that use it is for a peak level at Clacton of 3.31mAODN at 12:45pm, on Monday 10th February, which is 0.85m above tide tables, wind Force 7, SW. (mAODN is height above average sea level, for more information refer to local tide tables). Take care on coastal roads and footpaths and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. We will continue to monitor the situation and will reissue this message for any subsequent tides if required.
