✦   A Quick Note on Beach Safety   ✦

We all love beach days, but the Pacific around here does not play around. After a couple of tragic drownings recently near Punta Lobos and San Pedrito, it is a hard reminder to treat the water with serious respect.

If you are heading to the beach this week or hosting out-of-town guests who do not know our currents, please pass along a few basic ground rules:

Respect the shorebreak: Our beaches have heavy undertows, steep drop-offs, and strong rip currents. Always ask locals about safe swimming spots before getting in.

Skip the rocks: Give rocky points a wide berth, especially when the swell is up.

Watch the kids: Keep eyes on children at all times and never swim alone.

When in doubt, grab a chair and stay on the sand.

A Little August Prep Goes a Long Way

The first big rains of the season are always welcome, right up until they arrive at the wrong moment. A quick check now can save some headaches later.

Fill your tinaco and cistern: When storms arrive, water deliveries can be delayed, especially if roads and arroyos become difficult to navigate.

Protect your pumps and electronics: Summer storms often bring unstable CFE power. A good surge protector or voltage regulator can save expensive equipment.

Don’t underestimate flowing water: A normally dry arroyo can become dangerous quickly. If water is moving, wait it out.

Keep your phone charged, know where your emergency contacts are saved, and check in on neighbours who may need a hand before or after a storm.

Here’s hoping for good rains, and safe ones.
