(Eastney (Beach) (Portsmouth) Weather, 2023)
The weather and the beach forecast is important at our site because we can only access the end point at low tide. I had a look at The tide times for 15/3-2023 and the best time for us to go to our site is either at 09:40 or 22:12. When we went there we didn't realize that it would be high tide, we went there around 17:00 and now I can see that at 17:11 is the high tide as well as 04:37. Next site visit we will have a look at when the tide is low so we can pass to the other side safely.

Another thing that I notices is that it is pretty windy at the beach. Tomorrow evening will be 19mph (30km/h) which is described as windy at weather.gov they describe that speed as: "A Low Threat to Life and Property from High Wind." "Windy" conditions. Sustained wind speeds of 21 to 25 mph, or frequent wind gusts of 30 to 35 mph.. " (NOAA’s National Weather Service, n.d.).
At our site there is not much shade from trees or buildings either. There are quite open "non protected" spaces from different weather conditions such as wind, sun or rain. As we can see in the picture bellow it is very open which makes the area more exposed.
