😎 Feeling Hot Hot Hot

Planning a visit to our beach this week? Please stay safe and take extra precautions during the extreme weather conditions and follow all some safety advice below. 🌊⚠️

🌞 Watch the Water:
Be extremely careful of cold-water shock. Always visit a lifeguarded beach and swim between the red and yellow flags. Never use inflatables in the sea, as offshore winds can sweep you out.

🌞 Float to Live:
If you fall into the water unexpectedly, don't panic or thrash. Lean back, tilt your head so your ears are submerged, and control your breathing until you can call for help or swim to safety.

🌞 Stay Well Back:
Stick to signposted coastal paths and stay well away from unstable cliff edges and bases. If you get stuck in mud, lean back to spread your weight evenly.

🌞 Protect Yourself in the Sun:
Stay hydrated, avoid heavy exercise during peak heat, and stay in the shade. Use high-factor sunscreen and wear suitable clothing.

📟 Emergency Action: Always take a fully charged mobile phone. In a coastal emergency, immediately dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard. 📟

📰 Training Meets Reality: Coastguard Teams Tasked During Water Rescue Exercise.

📟 Attendance Request - 5️⃣7️⃣.
📆 18/06/26.
🕑 19:41.
📍 Rest Bay.

This week’s training exercise focused on water rescue techniques. In 2025, Coastguard Rescue Officers from Port Talbot saved nine lives by entering the sea to rescue people in danger.

During the training session, both Port Talbot and Porthcawl Coastguard teams were diverted to an incident at Rest Bay, Porthcawl.

The teams were tasked to reports of a dog that had entered the sea and was drifting further offshore.

While on route to the incident, the teams were stood down and subsequently returned to station.

📰 Busy day for Port Talbot Coastguard, with our team responding to three separate incidents.

📟 Attendance Request - 5️⃣4️⃣.
📆 13/06/26.
🕑 11:57.
📍 Rest Bay.

Our first tasking was alongside Porthcawl Coastguard to assist South Wales Police and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team in establishing a safety cordon for an ordnance detonation. Once on scene, the cordon was put in place, allowing the EOD team to carry out the controlled detonation safely.

📟 Attendance Request - 5️⃣5️⃣.
Our second incident involved reports of two deceased porpoises near Rest Bay slipway. Relevant reports were completed and submitted to the Operations Room, along with photographic evidence.

📟 Attendance Request - 5️⃣6️⃣
Our third tasking came just as we arrived back at station. We were immediately redeployed, alongside Porthcawl Coastguard, to Rest Bay following reports of a missing swimmer. Upon arrival, the individual had been located safely ashore. No casualty care was required, and both teams were subsequently stood down and returned to station.
