A clip shared by Network Rail shows waves crash over the sea wall on the coast of Ayrshire as the high tide approaches.
Earlier today (Tuesday), Scotrail suspended services between Kilwinning and Largs/Ardrossan until conditions improve.
A yellow warning for wind covering most of Scotland came into force at 3am today (Tuesday 27 October) and will remain in place until 9pm.
The Met Office says gusts of 50 to 60mph are expected across the country, while exposed areas in the northwest and far north could see winds reaching 70mph or more.
The Hebrides are expected to experience some of the strongest conditions, potentially lasting for several hours.
The latest bout of bad weather comes immediately after Storm Boelo, with another deep Atlantic low passing between Scotland and Iceland.
The Met Office said the system would bring severe gales or storm-force winds to northern waters, with gales across many other areas.
Forecasters have warned of possible disruption to road, rail, air and ferry services today.
There is also a risk of power cuts, fallen trees and damage to buildings, while large waves could affect exposed coastal roads and communities.
The Met Office said: “Strong west to southwesterly winds are expected to spread across much of Scotland and fringe the north of Northern Ireland during Tuesday.
“Gusts of 50-60 mph are possible quite widely and some coastal or exposed areas in the northwest and far north of Scotland could see gusts of 70 mph or more.”
The strongest winds are expected to ease from the southwest later today, although northern Scotland will remain exposed for longer.
Flooding is also a major concern. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency had 47 flood warnings and 13 flood alerts in force across Scotland at 8.40am this morning.
SEPA said a combination of storm surge, spring tides and large waves could cause significant coastal flooding in the Western Isles, Northern Isles and northwest today.
The flood forecast places the Western Isles, Orkney, Shetland and Caithness and Sutherland at amber risk, meaning flooding could affect parts of communities and cause disruption to infrastructure.
Yellow flood risk areas include Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen, Argyll and Bute, Ayrshire and Arran, Dumfries and Galloway, Easter Ross and the Great Glen, Moray and Speyside, Skye and Lochaber, Wester Ross and west central Scotland.
The risk is expected to move around the coast, with flooding possible down Scotland’s east coast into Wednesday.
Strong winds were already affecting some of Scotland’s major bridges this morning.
Traffic Scotland reported the Dornoch and Kessock bridges were closed to high-sided vehicles, while high winds were affecting the Friarton, Kincardine and Skye bridges.
The Forth Road Bridge was closed to double-decker buses, with further restrictions possible during the day. Restrictions were also forecast for the Queensferry Crossing as winds strengthen.
There should be some improvement later in the week. The Met Office said showers and brisk winds will gradually ease on Wednesday as high pressure begins to build.
