choppy waters.<\/p>\n<p>The local man was given a fixed penalty notice of &pound;90 by police when he was arrested at South Beach in Aberystwyth following his foolish dip.<\/p>\n<p>He had opted to wade in to the sea on the Welsh coast, despite the waves topping 15ft at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Aberystwyth's RNLI inshore lifeboat had to be called for, but the man managed to scramble back to the shore just before it hit the water.<\/p>\n<p>Milford Haven's coastguard revealed the drunk man's decision to get into the water &quot;may just have been in high spirits but it was not in good judgement&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>Coastguards in the area were quick to warn anyone thinking of enjoying a New Year's Day dip that this was not the year for it, as the huge waves battered the beach.<img
