Hi,
this is an absolutely newbie question, but I've been living near the sea only in the last 6 month approximaltely, so I don't know its "habits" as much as many of you guys.. Now the winter is coming soon, and the sea around here is often less peaceful than it was during the summertime. My problem is, that I often can't decide whether it's still safe to get into the water, or I should stay out of it - or if I'm already in, when to get the hell out if circumstances change.. I know some guys who even dive during thunderstorms sometimes, but fot me even waves around 1m can get scary, because I don't know what to expect.. (as I said I don't know the sea so well yet..)
So is there a rule of thumb or something, to determine when it is safe and when it is not?
