Dangerous Waves in Madeira
For several days now, the Madeira Archipelago has been under warning for maritime agitation. Despite the risks, many brave souls are still venturing out to Câmara de Lobos to witness the ocean up close.
Access Restrictions
It's important to note that access to the pier has been restricted for both vehicles and pedestrians.
Safety Recommendations
As previously reported, due to the adverse weather conditions, the Harbormaster continues to advise the maritime community and the general public to exercise caution. Here are some critical safety tips:
- Reinforce mooring and maintain close surveillance of anchored and moored vessels.
- Avoid walks near the sea or in areas exposed to maritime agitation, such as harbor breakwaters, cliffs, or beaches, to prevent being caught off guard by waves.
- Refrain from recreational fishing, especially near cliffs and areas frequently affected by wave action, as the sea can easily reach seemingly safe zones under these conditions.
