The Israeli Meteorological Service has issued a yellow warning for the Mediterranean coast, cautioning the public about high and dangerous seas. The warning, effective from Saturday at 6:00 PM until Sunday at 10:00 AM, indicated wave heights expected to range between 70 and 110 centimeters, with a downward trend. The service emphasized that the sea conditions pose a risk to swimmers due to high waves, currents, and whirlpools, which could lead to being swept out to sea or drowning. Injuries are also possible from waves hitting rocks and submerged stones. Even after the official warning expires, hazardous conditions may persist, and further alerts will be issued if necessary. The public is advised to stay updated on forecasts and adhere to actual sea conditions. The Meteorological Service strongly recommends following the instructions of lifeguards and inspectors, swimming only in designated areas, and avoiding piers and breakwaters where waves can cause injury. Swimmers are also urged to stay clear of breakwaters and unfamiliar deep waters due to the danger of currents and being swept away.
