The Suffolk coast from Lowestoft to Bawdsey
High tides tomorrow morning may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible from 8:30am to 10:30am on Saturday 10th October.
We expect to see high water levels in Lake Lothing in Lowestoft, as well as high sea levels along the Suffolk Coast, impacting on beach access points. The detailed forecast is for a peak level at Lowestoft of 1.72 mAODN at 9:30am on Saturday 10th October, which is 0.51m above tide tables, Wind Force 6, Westerly. No further high tides are currently expected over the coming days.
We are closely monitoring the situation .
Avoid coastal roads, footpaths and carparks, which may be flooded.

character. The shaded band is its 10–90% range, widened so that about 80% of recent outcomes fall inside it.
Under evaluation — not yet promoted, so treat as a second opinion. The nearest rain gauge has sent no readings in the last day, so Nimbus has no recent measured rain to work from here.
None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of this gauge on the mapped river network. That is not the same as none: the map leaves out many small streams and culverts, so an overflow it cannot place may still drain here, and not every company publishes every overflow.
4 other overflows within 6 km are downstream of this gauge or on another branch of the river network, so they are not listed.
These are the water companies' monitor statuses; a spill does not by itself explain a change in the gauge level. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels. Explore the sewage map →
