The red flag flies in some beaches Dénia for the first time this summer. The change in the state of the sea has caused bathing to be prohibited on the beaches of Les Deveses y Els Molins.
In Les Deveses the waves are moderate and the wind blows from the Southeast at 8 km/h. On the other hand, in Els Molins, the waves are weak, but from the lifeguard service they also prevent bathing due to the expected adverse weather conditions. Bathers are requested to obey the instructions of the lifeguard service at all times.
On the other hand, on the beach Marines and in Les Rotes the yellow flag waves from early in the morning due to the slight waves and gusts of wind that were close to 20km/h.
I believe that a beach should not be closed for "planned"
There are times that, despite the wind and the waves, if there is no hangover, you can swim on the beach just fine.
The photo with the Red Cross flag does not seem to be from this year, of course the Red Cross is not in Els Molins.
The Red Cross does not take care of the lifeguard posts.
There are companies that raise the red flag too often. Unjustified by weather conditions
«…. Bathers are requested to obey the instructions of the lifeguard service at all times…”
Good luck with that.
It is understood that it is done for security. Something very serious that is happening is that the "protection" buoys for bathers are NOT at the correct distance from the coast, they should be 200 meters away. Minimal, for example on the trampoline, pegoli, elios. They are very close and if we add to that the non-compliance caused by the embark actions sailing close to the buoys at speeds greater than 3 knots, (nature reserve) in that area the danger is served. It seems that neither the company that placed them nor the town hall have any idea about this matter, very unfortunate since the danger is greater than they imagine, in addition to not complying with the regulations. sheer incompetence
