The search for the missing person continued into the late evening hours, yet the efforts were unsuccessful, with responders from the coast guard, firefighters, emergency medical services, and police participating in the operation. Warnings about high waves had been issued by local authorities prior to the incident.

Reports indicate that some individuals managed to save themselves from the water. The state broadcaster RTVE reminded the public that the Canary Islands government had issued alerts regarding dangerous wave conditions just the day before. These natural pools, often considered hidden gems by vacationers, can turn perilous during rough seas, as massive waves push people into the open waters, making it treacherous to swim back to safety. Just last month, Tenerife experienced a similar tragic event, resulting in multiple people being swept away, leading to three deaths and 15 injuries. The island is facing yet another devastating incident.
