Although high tides threatened to tear through the town’s stretch of beach, waves stopped short of battering through its sand dunes and damaging beach huts at the North Drive end of the coast.

Several readers caught the effects of the weather on camera.

Effects of the high tide were most noticeable inland where water had spilled over from the River Yare.

The bottom steps leading up to Asda on Acle New Road were completely submerged while water gushed over the pier in Gorleston.

There were dramatic scenes in Hemsby as churning waves crashed into the soft dune cliffs where last year an erosion streak saw a string of homes toppled.

High tides bought water to the bottom of the wooden steps and beyond the rock barriers in Scratby.

Great Yarmouth Borough Council said its coastal engineer was monitoring the situation, but there had been no reports of flooding or problems.

Down the coast, Waveney river car park was completely flooded.
