LIVE · EVERY 10 MINUTES
Sea level measured every 10 minutes at Brighton and Hastings Pier. Heights are above chart datum, the same reference as the predicted tide times, so the two can be compared directly.
MEASURED AT THE COAST
Readings at six coastal gauges, west to east. Each card shows when the water was measured, separately from when this app checked the feed.
This uses Environment Agency flood and river level data and tide gauge data from the real-time data API (Beta), under the Open Government Licence. Gauge readings are provisional.
EYES ON THE WATER
Watch supported cameras here in Wet Waves. Other feeds open at their source. Nearby views are labelled; cameras may be dark or offline.
