Cyclonic swell on the Atlantic coast: swimming prohibited and vigilance increased, Lacanau adapts

While some vacationers are patient and resorting to alternatives like the nearby lake, the disappointment remains palpable. "We're disappointed, but we're still enjoying the beach, while respecting the safety rules," one tourist puts into perspective. Seaside professionals, for their part, have had to adjust their activities. Surfing equipment rentals have been suspended, surfing lessons have been canceled for children; everyone is making preparations for the exceptional conditions. The swell is expected to continue until the end of the week, but a reopening of swimming is planned for Wednesday morning in Lacanau.
