Be careful if you go swimming on the beaches of Eastern Pyrenees, this Sunday, June 19. This is the message relayed by the prefecture of the department on social networks, due to the strong wind planned on the coast. Meteo France predicts gusts that can exceed 60 km/h. They could therefore make swimming dangerous, with waves that “can reach heights of around 50 to 75 meters“, according to the state services.
A strong swell and significant rolls are expected, the prefecture of Pyrenees-Orientales recommends favoring supervised bathing areas.
In case of emergency, you can contact 18. For their part, the firefighters from SDIS 66 remind you that the lifeguard stations on the beaches can provide you with information.
