Along the coast, the message is unequivocal: steer clear of the sea. It is not a time to take risks by walking near cliffs, ports, or areas with heavy waves. Additionally, it is advisable to postpone any nautical or sporting activity and to remain vigilant regarding sudden changes in sea conditions.

Safety largely hinges on our attitude. In the event of any incident, contact 112 immediately, providing details of the situation to initiate the emergency response.
