They will not be significant, but we will still have to be careful on our coasts. From Thursday November 14 to Monday November 18, high tides will occur in Charente-Maritime, with a peak on Saturday, with a coefficient of 102. Meteorologically, there should be no particular concern regarding submersion, given that no major gale is forecast for the moment. Despite this, walkers, and particularly fishermen on foot, must remain vigilant, as reminded by the prefecture, which draws up a list of points to watch out for:
-
It is essential to be aware of the tide times: find out about the weather forecasts in advance and anticipate the rise of the sea by leaving the fishing zone at low tide.
-
Choose places you know or find out beforehand from tourist offices, town halls or local associations.
-
Do not go alone and warn those around you.
-
Equip yourself correctly: bring a cell phone, a whistle and a flashlight to make your location easier. In case of emergency, dial 196, the national sea emergency number.
-
Wear appropriate clothing: opt for brightly colored outfits, adapted to the weather conditions.
-
Find out about fishing zones: consult the website of the State services in Charente-Maritime.
-
Do not drive on the foreshore with a motor vehicle.
-
Put the lifted stones back in place so as not to damage the fauna and flora attached to them and do not scratch the areas of eelgrass (sea grass).
