The Environment Agency has issued advice ahead of Storm Brian and urge people to not risk their lives or that of others in order to take storm selfies.
The forecast water level is marginally above a normal high spring tide value but larger waves may lead to spray overtopping of defences across the Island.
The Environment Agency say wind and waves will cause some spray overtopping to coastal roads and car parks, especially at exposed locations like Freshwater Bay, Shanklin, Gurnard and Sandown.
As well as the severe weather warning or strong winds today, water levels will be high up slipways in Cowes and around Medina Road at the floating bridge.
The Met office say it's likely that some coastal routes, seafronts and coastal communities exposed to these winds will be affected by spray and/or large waves
