A forecasting tool benefitting those managing coastal hazards in the South West of England, and beyond.

Since 2018, SWEEP-OWWL forecasts have been increasing the accuracy and confidence with which to predict wave, water levels and coastal flooding, enabling a more rapid, targeted and cost-effective response to the risks this poses to property, business, transportation and life.
