Authorities in Panama have issued a high-wave advisory for the Caribbean coast, warning of swells reaching up to 2.10 meters. The National Civil Protection System (SINAPROC) has placed itself on permanent alert, closely monitoring the maritime conditions and their potential impact on coastal areas.

This advisory serves as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of residents and maritime operators along the affected coastline. SINAPROC is actively assessing the situation and stands ready to respond to any incidents that may arise from the rough seas. The public is urged to remain informed and adhere to safety guidelines issued by local authorities.

Maritime activities, including small boat operations and recreational water sports, are particularly vulnerable to these conditions. Vessels are advised to exercise extreme caution when navigating these waters, and beachgoers should be mindful of potential hazards. The advisory is expected to remain in effect until conditions improve, with SINAPROC continuing its vigilant watch over the Caribbean coast.
