Overtopping tides

No overtopping tides are forecast within the next 7 days.

Tides higher than 12.6 m are likely to flow over the lake wall.

Weather conditions can change this:

  • Low air pressure or storms can raise sea levels, meaning a tide not forecast to overtop might still do so.

  • High air pressure can lower sea levels, so a tide predicted to overtop may not.

For your safety, we strongly advise against swimming when the lake is overtopping.

If you choose to swim, keep well clear of the sea wall.
