A large portion of Madagascar's coastline remains exposed to difficult maritime conditions. Strong winds and heavy swells are affecting several coastal areas, with waves potentially reaching 3.5 meters. Vigilance will remain in effect until September 18 in certain zones, where sea conditions remain particularly rough. According to a bulletin issued by the general meteorology directorate yesterday at 12:31 (local time), strong winds of 45 to 55 km/h persist across several coastal sectors. The SAVA region's coast remains affected until today, while vigilance will continue until tomorrow for the DIANA region and the area between Vohimena and Taolagnaro. Additionally, caution must be maintained today between Mahajanga and Analalava. According to the country's meteorological service, these conditions can make sea travel difficult and increase accident risks, particularly for small vessels. The DGM bulletin announces heavy swells now affecting a vast portion of the country's eastern coastline, from Taolagnaro to Cape Bobaomby. Expected waves could reach 2.5 to 3.5 meters, making navigation conditions particularly delicate. The phenomenon should persist until today between Taolagnaro and Mahanoro, and until tomorrow between Mahanoro and Cape Bobaomby. The simultaneous occurrence of strong winds and heavy swells constitutes the main risk factor. Beyond navigation difficulties and accidents, these conditions may disrupt maritime and coastal activities. Caution remains recommended until sea conditions improve.
