40 beaches will remain with a yellow flag until January 24 due to waves

The Oceanographic and Antarctic Institute of the Navy (Inocar) reported that until January 24 the country’s coasts will be affected by a flood. This implies that the sea level rises above the normal height.

“Due to this rise in sea level, the effects of the waves that currently affect the country’s coasts could be felt more intensely,” the entity said.

Waves dragged stones that reached houses and premises in Mompiche

For this reason, he asked the maritime community to exercise caution.

On the beaches of Manabí, monitoring of the behavior of the sea has been maintained and visitors are recommended to take precautions when visiting the spas. In Mompiche, in Esmeraldas, the force of the water dragged material to houses in the town.

The Secretariat for Risk Management has indicated that until that date the aguaje is expected to be between moderate and slightly agitated. Only Las Peñas beach, in Esmeraldas, has a green flag, which means that visitors can enter the sea without fear.

While another 40 remain with a yellow flag, which implies being careful if you enter the sea.
