I guess what I was thinking on top of this is are sea levels higher in
general nowadays so spring tides more dangerously high?

Well, Cornwall is actually sinking, and Scilly is sinking quite
steadily. So this does make a rise in sea level more significant.
Flying into Scilly you can see the old field hedges (walls) under the
sea between the Islands. It's certainly giving a few problems at Hugh
Town, where a storm a few years back came disturbingly close to
eroding through the bank between the south facing Porthcressa beach,
and breaking right through to the north facing Town (harbour) beach.
