I'm with you on that one, will be heading off towards Chesil beach to watch the action at some point. As you have tried to point out, it is possible to watch the might of Mother Nature without being reckless at the same time!Those that venture onto the beach itself however are idotic beyond belief!

The police in Torquay have just released a statement warning to stay away from the harbour and seafront as it could be extremely dangerous.Don't think I can resist it.

I would love to be able to get to Southend tonight, tide times show a high tide at 5am, which is pretty much perfect!

 

I can get up there easy as c2c are still running, trouble is getting back!

 

Part of the rail line at Chawkwell is say 5-10 meters from the sea wall, I can't see c2c operating between Benfleet & Southend tomorrow morning 

Get a kite, you can fly home:)

best to probably park up by the livermead just to be cautious.....quick walk down to the seafront if it's not too choppy....(born and bred in Brix, so know Torquay very well )

Good advice, not to sure about the walking, think it might be safer in the van. Going to play it by ear, if it looks to nasty out there might just give it a miss.

you be careful my friend

Thanks. I will don't worry, if it gets too bad, I'll just view it through the window.

Depends on your location im having just a bit of wind and rain other people are gonna have a bit more than that.Stay in its safer why would you risk your life and others if you got washed out to sea.. comman sense thats all thats needed. Why not sit under a massive tree ..no thought not.

Not going to get washed out to sea, why do people keep saying that

don't think the local council will allow you near

I'll find somewhere good to park, but yea, they may shut the seafront if it gets bad.

.... And then sweeping you out to sea . Very sensible. Some poor fireman or coast guard then has to risk his life for saving yours. Stay inside!

I will be sat in a van, the seafront has a wall, will have to be one hell of a wave to take a van in. Besides it's a neep tide so should not be as bad as it gets in the winter.
