The Coastguard warns: "The high tides combined with strong winds may result in wind-blown spray and wave splash may cause localised pooling of water behind the sea defences.

"Please avoid using low lying coastal footpaths near beaches or promenades and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads, as sea spray and waves could be dangerous."
