If you’re planning a beach day today, you might want to think twice. Due to current weather conditions, most bays around Malta and Gozo are not recommended for swimming today, Tuesday 29th July.

Strong winds and choppy seas have led to unsafe swimming conditions in several popular spots, with authorities urging caution for anyone heading to the coast. The combination of gusty winds, strong currents, and reduced visibility means swimmers are being advised to avoid the majority of bays today.

However, a handful of locations remain safe for a dip, and a full list of these bays is available here.
