What changed
Portugal's maritime authority warned of significantly worsening sea conditions across the Azores from late 6 November into the early hours of 10 November 2026, with significant wave heights potentially reaching six metres and maximum waves of 10 metres.
Does this affect me?
Travelers visiting exposed beaches, cliffs, harbour walls and coastal viewpoints in the Azores, as well as recreational anglers, boaters and maritime excursion passengers, face dangerous sea conditions during the warning period.
What should I do?
Avoid exposed beaches, cliffs, breakwaters and harbour walls. Postpone recreational fishing near exposed shorelines, take precautions with moored vessels and check maritime excursion conditions directly with operators before departure.
