High tide this afternoon (14:45 15/1/2020) will be 30 centimetres lower than Wednesday's early morning tide (15/1/2020). Winds will be lighter and waves smaller too. While there still may be minor flood impacts including small amounts of spray generated, or water affecting shore side roads or promenades, the risk of flooding has reduced and will continue to reduce over the next five days. Tide levels will fall by approximately 20 centimetres each tide, on their way to a neap cycle. So even the periods of moderately strong winds forecast for the coming days should not generate significant flood risk. There is a suggestion more settled weather and calmer conditions could be in place by the weekend and may last into next week. We will continue to monitor the forecasts and will re-issue this message if the risk of flooding increases again.
