The The San Antonio municipality reported this afternoon that there will be extraordinary tides in Las Grutas and the coasts of the San Matías Gulf in the coming days, with which he called to take the pertinent precautions, especially those who park their cars on the beach (something that is prohibited).
On several occasions, extraordinary tides have caused cars are hit by water, mainly in sectors such as Las Coloradas, south of Las Grutas, and Punta Perdices, in the Port of San Antonio Este.
But what does it mean that tides are extraordinary? It means that the sea, that at this point in the San Matías gulf atrises and falls twice a day (that’s the famous tidal system)tend andn these dates an extraordinary height.
Generally, the maximum height to which it reaches when climbing does not exceed 8 meters, but with extraordinary tides that number is far exceeded. This causes the water to reach places you usually don’t go. And that, when it is withdrawn, it also descends to heights of less than a meter.
The extraordinary tides will occur this Monday 23, Tuesday 24, Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 January. The “extraordinary tides” which will affect an important strip of the San Antonio Bay coastal area.
Hours to keep in mind
– Monday 01/23 – hour 00:38 – height 9.07 m. / hour 13:12 – height 8.87 m.
– Tuesday 01/24 – hour 01:27 – height 9.23 m. / hour 14:00 – height 9.06 m.
– Wednesday 01/25 – hour 02:15 – height 9.26 m. / hour 14:47 – height 9.12 m.
– Thursday 01/26 – hour 3:03 – height 9.14 m. / hour 15:35 – height 9.04 m.
These tides are highly sought after by locals. For example, the coastal collectors of octopus and shellfish. They, at low tide, have the possibility of accessing sectors that are usually covered by water, and that increases their catches.
