Swimming Ban Issued Across Dozens of Northern Polish Beaches

Dangerous sea conditions, including high waves, strong winds, and rip currents, have prompted red flag warnings across dozens of beaches in the West Pomeranian and Pomeranian provinces of Northern Poland.

Dangerous Conditions Along the Baltic Coast

Authorities have prohibited swimming across dozens of beaches in the West Pomeranian and Pomeranian provinces. The bans are primarily enforced due to high waves, powerful winds, and life-threatening rip currents.

Restrictions in West Pomeranian Province

Data from the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate’s bathing service indicates that red flags have been raised in locations including Sarbinowo, Chłopy, Mielno, Dąbki, and Jarosławiec due to hazardous sea currents.

Microbiological Hazards in Sławno County

Separate from wave-related bans, the bathing areas of Bobolin Zachód and Jarosławiec Dubaj have been declared off-limits due to poor microbiological water quality parameters.

Widespread Closures in Pomeranian Province

Nearly 40 swimming areas in the Pomeranian province, including those in Ustka, Łeba, Mikoszewo, and Krynica Morska, are currently closed to the public due to the high risk posed by the sea.

Safety Recommendations

Conditions at these locations remain volatile and can shift throughout the day. Visitors are urged to check local beach signage and strictly adhere to the directives of lifeguards.
