North Sea
Waves are forecast to overtop sea defences as a result of high spring tides and strong winds at North Sea Coast at Victoria Harbour. Tides will be at their highest between 16:30 and 19:45 today, 14/01/2020. Flooding to coastal footpaths, roads and properties is possible at these times, however conditions may apply two to four hours either side of the high tide. Areas most at risk are properties at Victoria Harbour, including Town Wall, Southgate, Victoria Street, Friendship Lane, Sunniside, Abbey Street, Bond Street, Commercial Street, Brig Open, Wells Street, Darlington Street, Nuns Street, West View Road, and Throston Street. We are closely monitoring the situation and affected areas. Please avoid using risk areas and take care near coastal footpaths and promenades as large waves and spray are likely. Do not drive through flood water or large waves. This message will be updated tomorrow morning, 15/01/2020, or as the situation changes.

Flood Warning issued on 7 Dec 2017 15:46
North Sea
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.
