Strong swells were reported on the south coast From approximately three in the morning, winds of 35 to 55 kilometers per hour and strong swells were perceived on the southern coast of Isla de la Juventud, Evelio Labadí Mompeller, district delegate in the southern community of Cocodrilo, reported via WhatsApp. Yoandry Díaz Fuentes, specialist from the forecasting center of the special municipality, confirmed that in that part of the local geography strong winds from the south are felt associated with the circulation of Eta, while the waves are cumulative, a situation that will continue in the next 24 hours. He added that in the late evening the waves will decrease to a swell as the center of circulation of tropical storm Eta moves away from western Cuba. The strongest winds were recorded at the Punta del Este station with maximum gusts of 52 kilometers per hour, the source said. He added that there will be little rain in almost the entire Pinero territory, moderate winds will be felt in the North and starting tomorrow evening, these will be weak variables from the South, penetrations are not foreseen because there are no low areas on the south coast and the swells are dangerous for navigation. Zunilda García Garcés, first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba, called on the population of that southern community to avoid going out fishing, approaching the coast, staying in their homes to preserve human lives and following attentive the guidelines of civil defense. She recalled that in Cocodrilo transport is insured with a group of containers for the evacuation of people and their goods, in addition to food coverage in case that area was cut off.
