water can be treacherous - was: Re: Swimming



I don't know anything about the local conditions but as somebody living
all their life in a coastal town I'd like to add the following:

You cannot judge the dangers of water just by looking at it. There's
more than just waves. There are undercurrents too which can be way more
dangerous. These guards might be overly protective - but as someone who
lost 2 friends due to dangerous waters I'd like to emphasize:

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE GUARDS.

If they tell you not to swim, just obey.

Regards
Ilu

I am there, 11:35, they still dont want us to enter the water. I asked and they said it’s because of the waves. The waves are tiny almost non existent. This beach is not a great spot to go swimming (if you intend to follow the rules, that is).

Also, facing the beach, the left half of it is ok for swimming (legally). And
the right is not (SUP exclusive). I saw a sign in between saying that. This
applies from 9am only. Who knows what're the actual rules before that time :)

I believe you got a wrong machine translation. The 9-6 rule applies to
the whole beach.

That sign was probably one about private equipment area notice.
Gwangalli SUP is the company that rents parasols on some areas of the
beach.

Yes for the 6-9 rule, I didn't mean to say it was otherwise.

For the swimming area / sup area, the signal was quite clear in English, also
using arrows for visual representation if I'm not mistaken.

Always good to have such input from locals, thanks!
