Moderators Moderator_02 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Moderators Share Posted April 1, 2018 Quote Red flag warning on Pacific beaches Posted on March 31, 2018 in Panama Post Views: 127 Red flags have been raised by the National Civil Protection System (Sinaproc) on several beaches of the Panamanian Pacific, due to the increase in waves putting bathers at risk. Among the beaches where bathing is prohibited are Veracruz, Reina and Torio in Veraguas; Punta Chame, in West Panama; and Monagrillo in Los Santos. The red flag prohibits bathing either on beaches or rivers due to conditions that represent a risk to the life or health of bathers. A yellow flag means that bathing is permitted, but with limitations. However, bathing is prohibited in areas where the swimmer cannot touch bottom with the head out of the water. http://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/red-flag-warning-on-pacific-beaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundageba Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Lots of wind on the coast right now. Big swell and heavy off shore wind. At the change of tide there are strong rip currents . Rips are strongest one hour each side of the tide change. Tide change advances forward about one hour each day. Tide charts are for sale in most large general stores.: "Mareas del Pacifico " $2.00 (Beach babe on the front cover) Parents need to keep an eye on their children and as well not swim if they are drinking alcohol. Not all beaches have lifeguards. Today ( Monday Apr 2) High tide 5 am and 5 pm ....Low tide 11 am Lots of half sunken logs and dangerous debris in the shorebreak at the outgoing tide ( 10 am today ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
