Flooding possible. Be prepared.
This message has been issued because some minor flooding to coastal roads and footpaths is likely between 7:45pm and 9:45pm today Thursday 19th December. Strong winds and spring tides may cause large waves, and spray overtopping on the coast. 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 3.25mAODN at 8:45pm today, Thursday 19th December, which is 1.22m above tide tables, wind Force 6, North Westerly (mAODN is height above average sea level, for more info refer to local tide tables). The current series of high spring tides and surge has now reached its peak, and will fall away over the next few days. Take care on coastal roads and footpaths, and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. We are monitoring the situation. We will update this message by 10am on Friday 20th December.
