TL;DR

RNLI Jersey urged people to avoid swimming during the partial solar eclipse as swells increase and strong rip currents are expected around St Ouen's Bay; lifeguard patrols end at 18:00 BST, with eclipse viewing from 18:21 to 20:10. Viewers are advised not to look at the sun without proper glasses, and to use the float-to-live technique if in trouble, calling 999 for Jersey Coastguard if needed.
