WESTON's waters have been turbulent today (Wednesday, March 13), acting as a source of inspiration for many of the town's photography enthusiasts.

According to the Weston Marine Lake website, it isn't uncommon to see a high tide in the town.

The organisation's website reads: "Weston-super-Mare has the second highest tidal range in the world (i.e. the vertical distance between the high tide and succeeding low tide), regularly reaching nearly 15m.

"Additionally it also has a 6 knot tidal flow (nearly 7mph). This can make it very dangerous for all, including the most experienced watersports enthusiasts."

Another added: "It’s just lovely to see it so high every now and then."

A third said: "The man at the National Trust at Brean Down was telling me last summer how high the spring tide can go there. Certainly wouldn't want to meet that head on."
