People are being warned to stay away from a beach due to high tides and strong winds.
A flood warning is in place at the coast in Roker, in Sunderland, between 15:15 GMT and 18:00 GMT on Monday when tides are high.
The Environment Agency has warned that wave overtopping is possible during the three hour window.
The floods are expected to affect a section of Marine Walk next to Roker Beach.
Properties at risk of flooding include the Amusement Arcades and the Grannie Annies pub.
An Environment Agency spokesman said: "We will continue to monitor levels closely.
"Please stay away from beaches, promenades, coastal footpaths and roads as the expected large waves and sea spray will be dangerous."
A flood alert, which is less serious, is also in place along the length of Roker Beach.
