Yeah, god knows what it will be like on the beach later. I fully expect the tide to be over the seawall into the car park.

The wind has a sustained level as well as just gusting. I would've thought we will be included in the amber warning later.

[Miamay]

I agree Chris. It is only early on yet and i think the winds were to increase from 9am onwards . It will be wild sat at Crosby beach though !!!! And i bet you wont be the only one there !!!
