Thus, “taking into account falling branches and the risk of falling trees, the reception area of the large Pilat dune site is temporarily closed for safety reasons”. And the joint union, manager of the site, strongly advises the public not to climb the dune during the storm.
Moreover, on the water, the Union of Arcachon Boatmen (UBA) has canceled all its outings. The Teich ornithological reserve is also closed.
Powerful swell
In Andernos-les-Bains, “all pedestrian or vehicle traffic will be prohibited on Thursday November 21 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Broustic park, the Louis-David garden, on the Jetée, in the Bois des Quinconces, at the city stadium and at the skatepark, in the playgrounds, in the forest.” And even the Franck-Cazenave municipal swimming pool is closed all day.
As for the town of Lège-Cap-Ferret, it has closed access to the public to the ocean beaches in the south of Cap Ferret, between l'Horizon and la Pointe. Offshore, the Cap Ferret buoy measures the swell: from 6.2 to 9.5 m in height with a period between each wave of 11 seconds, which makes it a powerful swell, and not so cold water at 16, 3 degrees.
