Flooding is possible over the high tide on Thursday evening. High water at Exmouth is at 8.30pm, times of high water will vary along the coast.
Force 5 south westerly winds and offshore wave heights of over 2m are forecast to cause wave overtopping of sea defences and sea spray in exposed coastal locations, especially around Seaton. Expect tides to be around 420mm higher than predicted due to weather conditions.
People are advised to stay away from risk areas and take care next to the coast.
Keep up to date with weather and tide conditions on local radio. We will continue to monitor the situation and issue updates as required.
Detailed tidal information for those who use it; the forecast high tide level at Exmouth is 2.16 mAOD, this is 0.42 metres above astronomical tide level.
