Red Flag Hoisted at Big Wave Bay Beach: LCSD Urges Public Not to Swim
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) announced today that due to big waves at Big Wave Bay Beach, the red flag has been officially hoisted at the beach. This special announcement reminds all citizens that the waters at the location are currently unstable and unsuitable for swimming activities.
According to the message issued by the government, the current wind and waves at Big Wave Bay are strong, posing a potential threat to the safety of swimmers. To prevent accidents, lifeguards have raised the red flag in a prominent position on the beach as a clear warning signal. This is a common safety measure in beach management.
The LCSD strongly advises the public not to enter the water for swimming while the red flag is hoisted. Even experienced swimmers may suffer from physical exhaustion or be swept away by waves when facing strong surf; therefore, it is crucial to follow safety instructions.
Before planning to go to the beach, citizens should first check the latest weather and beach conditions via radio, television, or the government's official website. If wave conditions improve and the waters return to a safe state, the LCSD will issue another notice and lower the red flag.
Finally, the government reminds the public once again that safety should be the primary consideration when enjoying outdoor activities. When at the beach, please be sure to pay attention to changes in flag signals on-site at all times and follow the professional advice of lifeguards to ensure the safety of yourself and your family.
