The road between Zumaia and Getaria is closed by strong waves

The Department of Safety of the Basque Government has closed the N-634 between Zumaia and Getaria due to the strong swell that is hitting the coast. Dueto the storm called Pedro , several yellow warnings will be active today Thursday and tomorrow Friday on the coast of Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia. 

This afternoon there is a yellow warning for coastal risk, with waves expected to be around 5 meters high at the highest point. They are hitting the shore at a distance of 12-13 seconds. 

Because of the potential danger to traffic on that road, the Department of Safety and Security has decided to keep it closed until the situation calms down. 

Also on Friday morning, the yellow coastal impact warning will be activated from 05:00 to 07:00, at the time of the pleamar, which will be at 06:21 in the morning and the current waves are expected to exceed 4 meters. 

In addition, a yellow navigation warning is issued until 09:00 on Friday morning for the first 2 military.

The storm Pedro has left in the Basque Country this Thursday strong winds, some tides and strong waves, but with the passing of hours it is moving away from our lands, so in the next few hours the rainfall will decrease and the clearing will begin. 

The wind will also calm down and change direction from west to north.
