Pevensey Beach - the week ahead (1 December 2025)

We are keeping a close eye on the weather and getting ready for this week’s spring tides.

The latest forecast suggests strong southerly winds on Monday, shifting to south-westerly on Tuesday, with waves up to 3 metres. Conditions should ease as tides peak later in the week, but we will continue to monitor this closely.

To prepare, we have stockpiled shingle along the beach crest in several locations. This helps us respond quickly to any erosion, as high tides in the mornings will limit access to the lower beach. Our teams and machinery are ready to recycle and reposition shingle where needed.

We have also completed bypass operations from White Point and rebuilt the beach crest at key areas including Normans Bay, Beachlands, Sea Road car park, and more. Around 6,300 m³ of shingle has been moved to strengthen the frontage.

We will also move machinery from White Point to Pevensey Beach and continue with two recycling teams to repair any erosion caused by the spring tides this week.
