RESCUERS launched to two people trapped by the incoming Spring Tide.

Holyhead Coastguard alerted the Llandudno Lifeboat at 3.27pm on March 17. 

The lifesavers launched their RNLI inshore lifeboat Dr Barbara Saunderson and searched the area near Llandudno Pier following reports that members of the public were stranded on the rocks.

The volunteer crew proceeded to evacuate the casualties from the beach under Happy Valley Road to a safe location where the Llandudno Coastguard Team were in attendance.

Captain Marcus Elliott, Llandudno Lifeboat Volunteer Operations Manager, said: "Thinking of local dangers, I would reiterate the need for everyone, whether local or not, to check tide times if they are planning to walk around the area’s beaches, particularly at this time of year with the high Spring tides."

A high tide of 8.4 metres was recorded in Llandudno last Monday at 11.15am. The tide hit 8 metres at 11.43pm last Monday evening and 8.5 metres at 11.57am last Tuesday. 

A spokesperson from Llandudno Lifeboat said last week: "Such high tides can be even higher if they are subject to onshore winds and preceding periods of sustained swell."

Another "exceptionally high tide" is predicted for September 19.

The spokesperson added: "It is an opportune moment to remind users of coastal paths, promenades and beaches, including dog owners, to be fully aware of the dangers of the higher than usual tides."
