Default Yellow Alert for spectacular waves in north Tenerife and other Canary Islands

The Met Office, AEMet, has put Tenerife on Yellow Alert for strong waves on the north coast. Waves of up 4 metres are expected. The alert also applies to the whole of La Palma, and the north coasts of all the other Canary Islands, and will be active from 6pm today until midnight on Tuesday.

This might be a good chance to see some spectacular waves if anyone is in the north, or wondering what to do with themselves over the next few days … but do be careful. JAA

Then there were the people from a small seaside town in the US who went down to the coast to see something called a T-S-U-N-A-M-I.

There is a yellow alert for spectacular waves from the Met Office AEMet. It applies for the next couple of days in Tenerife, and in El Hierro, La Palma, and Lanzarote from tomorrow, extending to the rest of the Canaries from tomorrow night. At that point, Tenerife’s alert, and that of El Hierro and La Palma, will be raised to orange. Waves are expected of up to 5 metres. Tomorrow and particularly Monday could be quite a sight if you’re near the coast. JAA

Hope they get the sunbeds off the beaches this time before the waves arrive!
