Authorities in Spain and Mexico have issued warnings regarding hazardous maritime conditions. In Spain, the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) alerted the coasts of Cádiz and Huelva to strong rip currents caused by long-period swells and exceptionally high tides. In La Línea de la Concepción, lifeguard services were extended to manage risks from waves and undertows.

In Oaxaca, Mexico, specifically in Santa María Tonameca, alerts were issued regarding swell phenomena, with officials advising against swimming. To bolster emergency response, the government of Huatulco invested over 500,000 pesos in new medical and rescue equipment for paramedics and lifeguards.
