Abnormal waves continued to batter Peru’s northern coast on Monday, December 30, causing widespread disruption. The powerful swells led to the closure of 121 beaches and 58 ports, with local authorities taking immediate action to mitigate the damage.
In Piura, beachgoers were evacuated as the waves grew more intense, while homes in Tumbes suffered significant damage. The Peruvian Navy issued a warning that the waves would persist until January 4, with an expected peak on Thursday, January 2. The continued swells are expected to further disrupt coastal infrastructure and the region’s fishing activities.
In Callao, near the capital Lima, children’s playgrounds were submerged, prompting authorities to implement emergency measures and urge residents to stay vigilant.
Chile has also been affected by similar sea swells. On Sunday, December 29, authorities issued cautionary alerts for several coastal towns, advising residents to avoid these areas. Access to the coastal route in Viña del Mar was closed as a precaution, although some individuals disregarded the warnings, approaching the beach to witness the phenomenon and even take selfies.
According to Chilean officials, the swells are expected to intensify overnight into Tuesday, December 31. Meanwhile, over the weekend, similar waves also hit Peru's coasts, causing the closure of 80 ports and several additional beaches.
Both countries remain on high alert, as authorities continue to monitor the situation and urge the public to prioritize safety.
