ISLANDERS be aware the high tide at 00.30 BST Tuesday morning is expected to be the highest ever recorded at 5.75m together with a force 8/9 gale. Conditions on the seafront will be extreme dangerous so please stay away and if you live close to the areas mentioned below, you may want to take some precautions.
Clearly West Beach will suffer more drastic erosion and the recently completed shingle shuffle will again be decimated 😬
STAY SAFE 🤙

Tuesday's early morning tide at 00:15 on 09/04/2024 is higher than normal due to unsettled weather with strong Southerly Force 7 winds and large waves. The total forecast tide is 5.75 metres Chart Datum (3.02 mAOD) at Portsmouth. For 2 hours either side of high water, very high energy waves could remove large amounts of shingle from the beach, causing overtopping across the southern frontage of Hayling Island. This may cause flooding to Sea Front Road, and impact the amusement park at Beachlands and the Golf Course at Sinah Common. Some road flooding may occur on the A3023 Beach Road near Beachlands Roundabout, Manor Way and Seagrove Avenue. Road and potentially property flooding may occur at St Andrew's Road (nearest Sea Front). After this tide the weather becomes more settled but minor impacts could continue until Thursday (11/04/2024). We are liaising with the local authority over beach conditions at South Hayling. We continue to monitor the forecast. If you have it, please install flood protection 2 hours before high tide. We will remove this message by 16:00 on 09/04/2024.
Flood warning area: Areas inland of South Hayling seafront including Sea View and Mengham north of seafront. Westfield, Sinah Common and Sinah Lane.
