You would think the coastguards would get it right wouldn't you? Force 9 is "Strong Gale" Met.Office description is "Severe Gale"
"Gale" is Force 8. The Beaufort Scale ain't rocket science !!

Plenty of safe places to watch the waves if its your thing. High Tide tomorrow around 1:30pm. About a 29ft tide --so big enough to get whipped up and over.

Certainly not enough to cause the damage on the scale of 2013.

Quite amusing Saturday afternoon, the prom was gridlocked with cars of people going down to take a look!

Beware.More severe gales expected to hit the Wirral on Wednesday
