This flood warning has been issued due to the risk of wave overtopping affecting the seafront from at inner Victoria Harbour and Croft-on-Heugh Hartlepool. The area is likely to be affected between 17:00 and 19:00 on Thursday 7-12-17. We currently do not expect significant property impacts as wave overtopping is only expected if the wind becomes South-Easterly. Extreme care should be taken close to exposed coastal locations due to the risk of crashing waves. We do not envisage similar impacts on Friday.
