Flooding expected. Take action now.
The West Bay area will be affected by the bad weather tonight from Storm Isha. Very strong winds and large waves could overtop sea defences with sea spray and the tidal surge will help to increase the water levels.
The forecast high water is between 00:30 AM and 04:00 AM on the 22nd January with a total water level of 6.2m AOD for West Bay and a Force 9 south westerley wind. All times are local and for more detail please refer to your local tide tables.
Flooding to roads and farmland is possible at these times, however conditions may apply two to four hours either side of the high tide. We expect properties situated behind the Esplanade, Quayside, Heron Court, Forty Foot Way, Driftwood, Fourviews, Britbank, Barwick, Sunset, Riverside, George Hotel, Colmer Lodge and the Parkdean Holiday Park to be affected.
Please be careful along beaches, promenades and coastal footpaths and roads. We will be closely monitoring the situation and this message will be updated by 13:00 on Monday 22/01/24, or as the situation changes.
