Flood Warning Info - South Hayling at Sinah Common, Westfield, Sea View and Mengham

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.

Flooding is expected in this area. This means properties are at risk of flooding. Please take action to protect yourself and your property and monitor local weather and river conditions. Avoid contact with, walking or driving through flood water. Consider activating any property flood protection products you may have. The Environment Agency Flood Warning System has issued this message based on rising river or tidal levels. We are temporarily automating our messages due to industrial action.
