it is currently the season with strong currents and huge waves. Many dive sites are closed and at the beach red flags indicate, that swimming is prohibited (each season, several people, even good swimmers drown as they can't withstand the strong current pulling them out to the sea).
Therefore chances are good, that such an oil spill is washed away much faster than during Nov-Mar
