flags

In order to ensure the safety of bathers, our team has adopted a universal warning flag system, which alerts locals and tourists before entering the sea. At the entrances to the beach we have placed signs with warnings and recommendations.

RED

Indicates danger zone, and it is recommended to enter the water only if you have skills and knowledge to handle in those conditions.

RED & yellow

The red-yellow flag means that it is an area guarded by lifeguards. It is always recommended to check the conditions before entering the water.

Black

It symbolizes a very dangerous area, they are not suitable for swimming, they tend to have rocks and strong waves. It is recommended not to enter.

currents

Keep calm and don’t swim against the current.

Swim to one side, parallel to the coast, and then to the beach.

If you can’t escape, stay afloat and ask for help.

Choose a surf instruction with local surf school.

Never surf alone. It’s always safer to have a buddy.

safe
surfing

Keep in mind that 90% of all surf accidents happen within the white water or shore break. During the paddle out and coming in.

Hold your board as you enter and don’t ride onto the beach.

Always use correct equipment for your ability and use a safety leash and wax every session.

Respect all surfers and local surf advice(wisdom)-they have been here longer than you and know better.

Always be aware of surfers in all directions who could be on a wave already. Never turn your back on the ocean, things happen fast out there.

If you see a surfer coming at you down the line adjust your line to avoid quickly. Never ditch your board, hold on and do a turtle roll.

To avoid surfers don’t always try to out run them, sometimes you need to paddle into the impact zone to avoid collision.

If you are not ready to manage the impact zone maybe it is best to change to a mellower location, with more instruction, and extra classes from local instructors.
