COASTGUARDS issued a weather warning this afternoon to beach users and those out on the sea off the coast of Suffolk.
Officials based at Great Yarmouth said winds were like to be strong and could pose a danger to those using inflatables, toys and dinghys.
They said they could be picked up by the wind and quickly blown out to sea and into deep, choppy, cold water where they would probably overturn.
A spokesman for the Maritime Rescue co-ordination centre, in Yarmouth, said: “If you are going to the beach today do not take these with you as even one not occupied blown from the beach will also have to be investigated by the emergency services and could lead to unneccesary rescue action having to be taken”
