This is the maximum risk for this Sunday, July 2: 5 out of 5. The prefecture of Nouvelle-Aquitaine communicates on the danger of swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. The alert therefore concerns the departments of Charente-Maritime, Gironde, Landes and Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

This device, which alerts to the danger of these baïnes, has been in place for a year.
Baïnes, common on the South-West coast, form naturally between the ocean and the beach. They are formed by the wind, currents and waves.
The baïnes are very present on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
