Higher than predicted high tides may be experienced in foreshore (low-lying areas near the coast) and riverside locations from Saturday 1 March to Wednesday 5 March 2025.
The Queensland Tide tables provided by the Bureau of Meteorology can be found here: http://www.bom.gov.au/oceanography/projects/ntc/qld_tide_tables.shtml
Please note that due to likely change to the meteorological conditions, a tidal anomaly may cause these tide peaks to be higher than predicted.
These high tides are expected to be higher than the high tides experienced in December 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.
Please note that residents in tidal flood areas who are signed up for Brisbane Severe Weather Alerts can expect to also receive creek flood alerts during higher than predicted high tides.
