Last Thursday we had a storm surge. The water reached ~0.5m higher than the forecasted tide. Luckily the forecasted tide was relatively low. On a spring tide this could be quite a different story. #stormsurge #riveralde #slaughden

Last week saw another surge of over a metre. Here is a photo from the south of Aldeburgh with shingle over Crag Path. The river is just a short distance away. See attached diagram from #NTSLF (Lowestoft surge measurements) British Oceanographic Data Centre.

We had a great meeting today with Jenny Riddell-Carpenter MP, alongside The_WMA, AOA and AOCP. We discussed the flood defences along the estuary, and the actions necessary to prevent catastrophic flooding.

There will be a surge today, our nearest national indicator is at Lowestoft. The soft grey line follows the tide forecast. The lower lines in colour show the residual water, and the top lines in colour show the two combined. At Lowestoft, High Tide will be around 3.4m. #NTSLF
