The Israeli Meteorological Service has issued a yellow warning for dangerous conditions along the entire Mediterranean coast, effective from 6:00 PM to 10:00 AM the following day. The warning highlights risks associated with high waves, strong currents, and the potential for being swept out to sea. Significant wave heights are expected to range between 70 and 110 centimeters. While waves are predicted to gradually subside, hazardous conditions may persist beyond the warning period. The service will release further updates if necessary. Swimming in these conditions poses serious risks, including drowning from high waves and injuries from submerged rocks and cliffs. Strong currents can pull swimmers from shallow areas into deeper water. Specialists also caution about the potential formation of whirlpools and unpredictable wave movements. Additionally, strong winds, including easterly ones, can exacerbate the risk of being carried away by currents. Beachgoers are urged to exercise caution, monitor weather forecasts, and adhere to instructions from lifeguards and beach personnel. Swimming is advised only in designated and marked areas. It is also recommended to stay clear of piers and breakwaters due to particularly strong currents in these zones.
