How well is Mallorca prepared when the sea rages? Storm 'Leonardo' and the giant waves

Answer

When is it too risky to go near the sea in Mallorca during rough weather?

It becomes too risky when waves are reaching walkways, spray is hitting roads or harbour areas, or access points are already restricted. In Mallorca, exposed seafronts and small coves can change fast, so the safest decision is often to stay back even if the weather seems brief and local. People should also avoid watching storm surf from unstable rocks or breakwaters.
