Flooding expected. Take action now.
Tuesday's early morning tide at 00:00 on 09/04/2024 is higher than normal due to unsettled weather with strong Southerly Force 6 winds. The weather increases tide table values by 0.82 m. The total forecast tide is 4.85 metres Chart Datum (2.11 mAOD) at Ryde. The tide level will be higher than on 14 Feb 2014. For 1 hour either side of high water, the tide will flood a small number of properties at Mill Square and Wootton Bridge near the Sloop. After this tide the weather becomes more settled but minor impacts could continue until Thursday (11/04/2024). We continue to monitor the forecast. We recommend that flood protection is installed at Mill Square on the water's edge at Wootton Creek 1 hour before high tide. We will remove this message by 16:00 on 09/04/2024.
