Vicky Tacle visited the La Libertad boardwalk this Tuesday, January 17, and with her family went to enjoy the scenery, but what they did not imagine is that they would end up wet and with damage to their cell phones since they did not notice a large wave that would hit with one of the first breakwaters.
This was one of the peninsular beaches where the waves were strongly felt, which, according to the Oceanographic and Antarctic Institute of the Navy (Inocar), would be considerable.
The entity specified that the coast will be affected by a considerable wave of energy coming from the northwest of the Pacific Ocean and that it would be felt with greater intensity on Monday the 16th in the insular zone, while on the mainland it would be this Tuesday the 17th.
Swell since January 17 could exceed that of days past in continental Ecuador, warns Inocar
The islands where cocktails are sold decided to close their doors. Part of the cobblestones woke up full of water and there were affected plants.
In the Salinas canton there were also sequelae. Along Malecón avenue, water flooded a few blocks.
The spectacle was observed by those who came with their cell phones to watch the force of the sea.

Afterwards, the whole street and the sidewalk were full of sand and shell. At the height of the Salinas Captaincy, metal railings were placed and the passage of vehicles was blocked.
“It is impressive, but at the same time dangerous; What the sea offers us is very beautiful, we must respect it,” said John Sánchez, a resident of Salinas, who closely watched the behavior of the sea. (YO)
