A "swimming advisory" sign may be encountered if one sets course for Gilleleje Veststrand, Tinkerup Strand, or Udsholt Strand in North Zealand, due to a sewage spill, according to Gribskov Kommune in a press release.
The onshore wind increases the risk of polluted water washing up onto the beaches, it is stated.
The advice to stay out of the water applies to all private beaches within the affected area as well.
The other beaches managed by the municipality are not affected.
Gribskov Forsyning informs TV 2 that the spill has been stopped, and that normal operations have been resumed.
"We have corrected the error that occurred, and we are analyzing to ensure that a similar incident does not occur," says Mette Therkildsen, who is the press contact for Gribskov Forsyning, to TV 2.
According to the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI), there is a forecast for a weekend with good weather, where the temperature on Saturday could reach between 20 and 25 degrees.
This was stated by Mette Wagner, who is the duty meteorologist at DMI, to Ritzau on Friday.
