Discussion of coastal erosion on marshes, beaches and cliffs of East Anglia. Observations of wave heights and storm conditions.

Last few days to complete very useful survey to consider impact and possible remedies to the severe erosion at Thorpeness. Deadline 14th September @EastSuffolk

Further thoughts on severe erosion at #Thorpeness possible contributory factors and things to be aware re next steps for this vulnerable section of coastline

Where the gabions used to be.......managed to get to #ThorpenessBeach #Suffolk #UK at the weekend. Location is other side of rock revetment, usually covered by waves. Quite a remarkable change #Thorpeness @EastSuffolk @EADT24

Somewhat belatedly in July, a look at ten years of Maximum Observed Tide Heights from #Lowestoft tide gauge for 1st, 15th & 30th January 2015 - 2025. Not a #SLR narrative, but follow release of #MetOffice #StateofClimateReport2024

Thoughts on Winter storm damage on #Suffolk and #Norfolk coast. Ghostly image of #DunwichChurch used as backdrop to consider new erosion through lens of past losses to try and understand anew erosion at a time of #climatechange

Despite apparently benign conditions there are multiple flood warnings on the east coast today.

Northerly winds putting half a metre of surge on top of big Spring tides.

High spring tides coupled with a strong northerly wind tomorrow, could lead to some large coastal waves along North Sea coasts 🌊🌊

[Steff Aquarone MP @Steffanaquarone]

If coastal erosion was threatening central London, you can bet the government would move heaven & earth to solve it...

🌊 Here in North Norfolk, where we have one of the fastest eroding coastlines in Western Europe, we expect that same level of urgency to tackle this emergency.

In remembrance of the damaging #1953stormsurge that tragically claimed the lives of 307 people.

Useful reminder for those of us focused on coastal erosion, of the vulnerability of humans, homes and infrastructure to the indifferent power of the sea.

[Alan - Flood Forecaster @ The Thames Barrier @AlanBarrierEA]

#OnThisDay: in 1953, a large storm surge combined with a spring tide and flooded many parts of the east coast, claiming the lives of 307 people in England and 19 in Scotland.

Central #London was only spared due to the major flooding in East Anglia, Essex and Canvey Island 👇.

[mr and mrs thomas @3speeders]

Great to see both flood and erosion services updated. In addition to checking your flood risk, you can also now check coastal erosion risk for an area in England. https://t.co/2rrGPISQ3F

Have drifted with the currents of North Sea over to blue sky, will continue to post here for a while

In the meantime thoughts on Aggregate Surplus Strength of rainfall and wave action and erosion at #Pakefield beach
