For the last four days the port has been closed to navigation and the beaches have red flags hung to indicate that the sea conditions are unsafe, due to the strong winds of the current “Surada”.

Despite the above, a young man decided to enter the water this afternoon, to surf the waves with his wake board (a smaller surfboard), but was quickly swept away by the current.

The citizen was exhausted, but did not require medical attention.
