This flood line starts from this gauge’s measured history — the level the river only tops a few days a year. Reports of a flooded or passable day will tune it to the path itself.
Official flood warnings for Welsh paths come from Natural Resources Wales, not the Environment Agency — so check their live warnings for this area when the rivers are up.

The Wales Coast Path follows the Tywi (Towy) along Carmarthen Quay and through a low-lying wetland stretch downstream of the bridge. The official trail guide warns that the path floods whenever the river bursts its banks, and the quay has flooded repeatedly from 1987’s record overtopping to Storm Callum in 2018. Levels here also rise with the tide.
