On the bank holiday weekend, people visiting the beaches and coasts of Wales are being warned about the possibility of unusually large waves and dangerous sea conditions after a series of RIP current rescue.
46 people alone in Pambrookshire were rescued earlier this month by RNLI Lifeguards, including two young children.
Meanwhile, on Monday and Tuesday, the condition of surf can reach the waves to 3 meters (9.8 ft), especially in South and West Wales, with a large risk of rip streams.
RNLI is reminding people to visit beaches with lifeguards where possible.
“The forecast of this time for Monday and Tuesday is quite unusual for this time of the year as the surf in Prafulla is much larger than the normal, said Chris Kusan, RNLI Water Security Lead.
He said that it can reach 3 m with waves at some places, saying: “If we reach those heights, it is very big as we will expect at any time of the year.”
Mr. Kusan said that conditions would pose a major threat to those using boats, kayaks and stand-up padelboard.
“If you are a swimmer then the risk of rip streams and waves increases, if you are running along the coast, especially when it is combined with high tidal, there may be water when spreading in areas that will not occur normally.”
The warning comes after all rescues associated with rip streams including bodyboards, swimmers and surfers.
Between 9 and 15 August, RNLI was called for dozens of incidents in Newgel Beach, Tenbi Castle Beach and freshwater west.
Six people were rescued on Newgel Beach and assisted in two days in seven days in seven days, as most of the casualties entered the water outside the flagged lifeguard patrol areas.
On August 12, the RNLI Lifegard rescued 14 people and assisted more than 30 people on the same beach, while 16 people in the west were rescued in freshwater and over 40 on August 8.
On August 11, the lifeguard patrolling Tenbi Castle Beach rescued six people and assisted two people, who were difficult to get caught in rip.
The groups were using inflatables and stand-up-paddel, RNLI said, which were flowing behind the Catherine Island by stronger streams.
Other incidents included two young children, who started going under water after going beyond red and yellow flags on the beach. RNLI said that his parents were unaware that they were in danger.
What is a rip current?
Reps are Sea strong streams Which can quickly pull people from the shallow of the coastline and make it out of deep water.
They can reach 5mph (8 km/h), which is faster than an Olympic swimmer.
RIPs are particularly powerful in large surf, but RNLIs do not underestimate any water power.
They are also found around the river’s mouth, astruaries and man -made structures such as pierce and groups.
Rip streams can be difficult to present, but sometimes churning on sea surface, churning, is identified by a channel of tempering water.
“Big Surf means more risk than rip streams, and cheerful also coincides with spring tide, which means that more powerful tidal water movement of more speed,” said Shri Kusan.
Those caught in a rip current are advised not to fight against it, and swim parallel to the beach until they are free from the present.
If this is not possible, RNLI says “Float to live” The best thing is until you can call for help.
James Instance, HM Coastguard Divisional Commander, said: “The Atlantic is predicted to mix conditions with high tidal to take risks in areas that are expected to be busy with visitors during the holidays.
“There is a possibility of strong waves and currents that can motivate people to flow, especially children or weak people.
“Please be aware of the position of the sea and tide, and follow our simple guidance to ensure that you have a fun day and the house is safe.”
What is the forecast on bank holiday weekends?
Sabrina Lee, Analysis by BBC Wells Meteorologist
Sunday and bank holidays appear to see a good sunlight on Monday. The temperature has also been determined to increase, possibly on the bank holiday to some places reach 26C on Monday.
Hurricane Erin’s remains set to affect Wales from Monday onwards, bringing some wet and frightening conditions.
Next we hope that the winds will become stronger, which in turn will affect coastal conditions, so it is important to investigate the forecast.
