yellow warning - coastal flooding - in effect
This warning is in effect for parts of the coast due to the following hazard(s): High storm surge. Large waves. Higher than normal water levels.
Locations: eastern and northeastern facing shorelines from Cape Freels to Cappahayden.
Time span: continuing until midday Tuesday. Most significant near the high tides.
Maximum wave heights tonight and Tuesday: 6 to 9 metres, breaking on approach to shore.
High tide times:
- This evening: 8:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M.
- Tuesday morning: 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M.
Remarks: A combination of storm surge, large waves, and pounding surf, coinciding with high tide, will push water beyond its usual reach, exceeding the highest astronomical tide.

Roads and walkways may be difficult to navigate due to flooding and/or debris, such as driftwood and rocks. Properties in coastal locations will likely be affected by spray and wave overtopping.
Coastal flooding warnings are issued when high water levels pose a threat to coastal regions due to tides, storm surge and/or waves.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NLstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #NLwx.
