HIGH tides, waves and unsettled weather may combine to bring a risk of localised flooding along the coast this weekend.
The Environment Agency said coastlines could expect high levels from yesterday (February 20 ) to Monday (February 23).
A spokesperson said: "Localised disruption to travel, and some flooding of low-lying land and individual properties is possible along the north west coast from Friday into Monday."
They added strong winds on Sunday into Monday may also continue to affect communities along the south west and north west coasts with a risk of large waves.

Jonathan Day, flood risk manager at the Environment Agency, said: “We are monitoring the situation closely with the Met Office and will issue flood alerts and warnings as required.
“It’s possible we could see some large waves and spray and urge people to take care near coastal paths and promenades and not to drive through flood water.
“People should also check their flood risk and keep up to date with the latest situation on the GOV.UK website at https://www.gov.uk/check-if-youre-at-risk-of-flooding or follow @EnvAgencyNW and #floodaware on Twitter for the latest flood updates.”
