Hazardous waves, measuring between 4 and 6.5 meters, are expected to strike the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic coastline stretching from Cap Spartel to Tarfaya starting on Monday evening, as reported by the Ministry of Equipment and Water Resources. These ocean swells will come primarily from the west to northwest direction, with intervals ranging from 10 to 14 seconds.
The harshest conditions are anticipated on Monday night, mainly affecting areas between Tangier-Med and Cap Spartel within the Strait, as well as regions stretching from Cap Spartel to Cap Hadid along the Atlantic coastline. Additionally, strong south-westerly gusts will sweep through from early Monday morning across the stretch from Cap Spartel to Essaouira, before intensifying further over the Strait later in the day.
High tides will reach between 3.2 and 3.8 meters in the early hours of the morning (between 04:30 and 05:20) and late afternoon (between 16:50 and 17:30) on Monday and Tuesday. A gradual improvement in sea conditions is expected from Tuesday afternoon onwards, says the Ministry, which will issue detailed alert bulletins as the situation develops.
