Operational Wave and Water Model (OWWL)
Coastal floods occur when big tides coincide with storms, producing a storm surge.
The Operational Wave and Water Level Forecast Model uses the latest weather forecasts and wave measurements to forecast coastal floods, it is free for anyone to sign up.
​
The model is regularly updated with our beach survey profiles, measured (up to) twice a year, it also integrates real-time wavebuoy and Met Office readings to forecast coastal flooding (wave and water level overtopping).
​
It has been operational in S.Wales since November 2020.
