Flooding possible. Be prepared.
This message has been issued because some minor flooding to coastal roads and footpaths is likely between 5:00am and 7:00am tomorrow, Saturday 16th November. The tide this evening, Friday 15th November at 5:45pm will not reach flood alert level. Tides are expected to be higher than usual, due to the forecast weather conditions during spring tides. High tides will mean flood gates will be closed restricting normal access to beaches around Eccles on Sea, and Sea Palling. The detailed forecast for those that use it is for a peak level at Cromer of 3.04 mAODN at 6:00am, Saturday 16th November, which is 0.43m above tide tables, wind Force 5, South-Westerly. (mAODN is height above average sea level, for more info refer to local tide tables). We are in a period of high springs, which lasts until 20th November. Take care on coastal roads and footpaths, and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. We are monitoring the situation and not expecting the situation to escalate. We will update this message by 2pm, Saturday 16th November.
