🧐 Have you ever wondered how a swell is formed?
🌊 During the month of September, we have seen how the sea has shown its strength during several days when the swells have been the main
🎥 In the video (filmed in Noli) you can see how, the day before a storm surge, the sea already looks very rough
❔But how does a swell form? Wind is the main culprit!
🌬 When strong air currents meet the sea, what is generated is a constant succession of waves as they get higher and higher
🌕 Another great accomplice of swells is the Moon! During the night, when the tide rises, it is in fact also the time when the highest waves form
🫣 So here we are in the morning counting the damage done by overnight storm surges, from minor ones like flooding of some beaches to far worse ones like landslides blocking roads
⚠️ So always pay attention to weather warnings and especially storm surges! Recognize the power of nature, and respect it...
