ZIPOLITE BEACH CLOSED DUE TO HIGH SURGESThe group ofLifeguards Club Delfines Zipolite ACThe agency announced in a statement that due to the current swell conditions affecting the Oaxacan coast, the beach will remain closed for water activities until further notice.
The sea features high-energy waves, intense rip currents, and highly dangerous conditions for swimmers and visitors, they point out.
Why is it dangerous?Waves associated with swells can travel great distances before impacting the coast, arriving with considerable force capable of:
To knock down an adult.To drag people out to sea in a matter of seconds.Reach normally dry beach areas.Generate currents that are difficult to identify even for experienced swimmers.
NOT ALLOWED:• Swimming.
• Enter the sea.
• Participate in aquatic recreational activities.
• Staying in rocky areas exposed to waves.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND SERVICE PROVIDERSIf you have furniture, equipment or facilities near the beach:
Remove sun loungers and umbrellas.Secure kayaks and small boats.Protect advertisements, signs, and lightweight furniture.Move objects away from the tide line.Keep access roads clear for emergency vehicles.IF A PERSON IS SCRAPED AWAY BY THE CURRENT:
Stay calm.
Call 911 immediately or notify the Lifeguards.
Visually indicate the person's location.
DO NOT enter the water to try to rescue her.
Follow the instructions of the trained personnel.We remind you that many emergencies worsen when untrained people attempt to perform rescues on their own.
We ask for the cooperation of the entire community, merchants, hoteliers and visitors to respect the temporary restrictions and help prevent accidents.
