I have read that....'An astronomical tide is the regular and predictable movement of water
caused by the way that the earth, sun and moon move in relation to each
other. Astronomical tides are to be notably high during 2014 and 2015
because we are reaching the peak of the 18.6 year tidal cycle. This peak
sees the position of the aforementioned planetary bodies align such
that they combine to create a greater than normal force over the oceans.
This greater force means the tides will be higher than usual spring
tides.'
This weekend we have experienced the highest high tide of the year but the wind and weather has been reasonably kind to us but despite further erosion (the sea has got to within 20 foot of some properties), we are still here!
This morning was cold and frosty and a few photos shows the present state of the beach.

| Note the 'caution sign' in place. |
By high tide this afternoon the sun had gone and the clouds gave a very different 'feel' to the beach.
Note the 'caution' sign now collapsed as the sea erodes the beach around the next groyne
Where will it all end?
