Higher than normal tides may be experienced in foreshore (low-lying areas near the coast) and riverside locations on Saturday, 9 March 2024 to Monday, 11 March 2024.
The Queensland Tide tables provided by the Maritime Safety Queensland advise:
- A predicted tide peak of 2.68 metres (1.43 m AHD) is expected at the Brisbane Bar at approximately 08:51am on Saturday 9 March.
- A predicted tide peak of 2.72 metres (1.47 m AHD) is expected at the Brisbane Bar at approximately 9.36am on Sunday 10 March.
- A predicted tide peak of 2.68 metres (1.43 m AHD) is expected at the Brisbane Bar at approximately 10:18am on Monday 11 March.
Please note that due to likely change to meteorological conditions a tidal anomaly may cause these tide peaks to be higher than predicted.
These high tides are expected to be similar to the high tides experienced in mid-January 2024.
Minor localised flooding may be experienced in bayside, riverside and low-lying parts of nearby suburbs. Areas connected to foreshore, and tide-affected areas of the river, creeks and other waterways may also be affected.
Residents in areas prone to localised flooding due to high tides are advised to avoid parking their cars on the street during these times.
