Tidal overflow is also possible is areas prone to flooding, such as low-lying areas.
“Tidal overflow will be possible in low lying areas during high tide between 9pm and midnight each night - keep that in mind when setting up to watch any fireworks shows during the day as the high tide moves in it may push you back by the night,” Parry added.
