Whitby Coastguard team said: “The current weather and sea conditions are bringing the waves considerably and dangerously high, meaning anyone in the vicinity could be knocked off the sea wall in a matter of seconds.
“Please take heed, be sensible and be safe.”
Huge waves have pounded the coast over the past couple of days, with Whitby’s beach huts badly damaged.
