A warning has been issued as wind and strong waves set to hit coastal parts of Sussex.

The yellow alert, from the Met Office, is in place for the county from Chichester to Eastbourne from 7am until 6pm tomorrow.

A spokesman for the national weather service said: “Strong winds and large coastal waves may lead to hazardous conditions.”

Residents are told to expect possible longer journey times or cancellations on road, rail, air and ferry.

There is also a slight chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage.

The Met Office said there is also a small chance of injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties.

There is a small chance that some roads and bridges could close.

The Met Office and RNLI urge beachgoers to check tide times to avoid getting cut off by the tide coming in.
