Storm surge and sea state/wave motion

In coastal areas, strong winds are associated with the risk of storm surges, particularly if the wind comes perpendicular to the coast.

What is useful to know and do

  • Exercise extreme caution when approaching the coast or driving along coastal roads;
  • Avoid standing on coastal roads, and all the more so on jetties and piers;
  • Avoid bathing and the use of boats and secure boats and structures on beaches and in port areas in advance.
