HM Coastguard and Scarborough Borough Council are urging residents and those visiting the coast to be sensible and avoid the most exposed areas.

Senior Coastal Operations Officer for HM Coastguard, Matthew Atkinson, said: “This weekend we expect the usual areas along the Yorkshire coast to be affected by wave overtopping; typically Sandsend, in Whitby on the piers and Pier Road and in Scarborough at North Bay, on the piers and from the Spa complex to the Holbeck area.

"We would like to remind people that several hours either side of high tide, exposed areas such as seafronts and promenades could become dangerous with waves crashing over them. If you see anyone in danger or endangering themselves please ring 999 and ask for the Coastguard.”

High times in Whitby on Saturday are 6.09am (5.7m) and 6.34pm (5.6m)

"No matter how much fun you think wave dodging might be, don’t do it! The power of the sea should never be underestimated.
