Canary Islands Downgrade Coastal Alert to Pre-Alert as 3-4 Metre Swell Persists in Northern Waters
The Government of the Canary Islands announced on November 8 that its Directorate General for Emergencies downgraded the coastal-phenomena alert to a pre-alert across the archipelago from 11:30 that Sunday, covering Tenerife and the north- and west-facing coasts of the other islands.
A northerly and north-westerly swell of 3 to 4 metres will continue to affect mainly the northern and western coasts. South-westerly winds could reach Force 7 around the Tenerife metropolitan and southern coast and off north-western Gran Canaria.
Although sea winds are expected to ease progressively during the afternoon and night, adverse sea conditions will persist. The regional government urged extreme caution in exposed coastal areas, especially around high tide, and advised avoiding piers, breakwaters and surf zones.
