High tide ameliorated by wind direction

What a wet few days it’s been;  this together with low air pressure produced a high tide tonight in Cowes.  Fortunately the strong, blustery wind seemed to be coming from the South, blowing waves away from the areas of Cowes and East Cowes that are vulnerable to flooding.  Even so, each end of the floating bridge’s chains were submerged tonight.  Further high tides are forecast into early next week, things could get interesting!
