Ireland's coast is set to be battered by high seas as swells from the Atlantic hit our shores in the coming days.
Colossal waves are set to hit Devon and Cornwall for the next three days, and the emergency services are warning that they will create "extremely dangerous" sea conditions.
And similar conditions are expected here as weather chiefs say they are expecting "very high seas really right around our coasts."
A Met Eireann forecaster told the Irish Mirror: "There's a large swell in the Atlantic at the moment.
"The seas are expected to be in excess of 10 metres around our coast.
"That's a big swell coming in from below Iceland so we'd be expecting similar conditions that they will have off the south west of England."
A status yellow gale warning is currently in place with Met Eireann warning that west to southwest winds will occasionally reach gale force today on Irish coastal waters from Valentia to Slyne Head to Rossan Point.
Southwesterly gales will develop later tonight on Irish coastal waters from Mizen Head to Valentia to Loop Head.
The RNLI in the south England region is urging the public to visit a lifeguarded beach and heed their advice as a huge swell is forecast to hit exposed areas of the south west from Wednesday onwards.
The swell is being generated by the combination of a storm and big low pressure in the north Atlantic and coincides with strong winds which are predicted to create potentially dangerous sea conditions.
Steve Instance, RNLI water safety lead for the South West England, said: "Experts have been watching weather systems out in the Atlantic for the last few weeks to calculate the impact on swell conditions hitting Europe and the UK. Forecasts at the moment are predicting a huge swell to arrive on Wednesday and into Thursday combined with strong winds.
"Sea conditions are set to be extremely dangerous and it's likely most beaches will be red flagged with huge waves, strong rip currents and increased tidal surges.
"If you are tempted to enter the water, please go to one of the 27 lifeguarded beaches and listen to their advice, if there are no flags then there are no lifeguards.
"Do not enter the water if the red flag is flying, it only takes seconds to get caught out in conditions like these. If you see anyone in difficulty, please call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
"While we expect stormy conditions during the winter, this particular swell is hitting in the middle of half term when the coastal area is busy with visitors to the region and locals off school. We would advise anglers, coastal walkers and anyone hoping to watch the surf to do so at a safe distance from the water."
Meanwhile a Status Yellow rainfall has been issued for 10 counties in Ireland as the country is in for a week of heavy showers and thunderstorms.
The warning for Connacht, Donegal, Clare, Cork, Kerry, and Limerick in place from midnight on Thursday until 6am on Friday, 30 October.
Met Eireann forecasters added that 30mm to 60mm of rain is expected across the counties, with higher amounts in mountainous regions.
