Due to rainy weather, the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health and Quality has issued Tuesday’s beach management actions.
DEHQ has issued a General Rain Advisory for all coastal beaches and bays due to recent
rainfall. Beachgoers are advised that rain brings urban runoff, which can cause bacteria
levels to rise significantly in ocean and bay waters, especially near storm drains, creeks,
rivers, and lagoon outlets, and may cause illness.
Water contacts such as swimming, surfing, and diving should be avoided during rain and for 72 hours following the rain event.
On-going Beach Management Actions
Advisory – Children’s Pool in La Jolla, Campland, Crown Cove, and Buccaneer Beach
The above beaches remain under advisory. Beach goers are advised that bacteria levels
have exceeded State health standards and may cause illness.
Closure – Tijuana Slough, Imperial Beach, Silver Strand, and Coronado Shorelines
The ocean shoreline from the International Border through the northern end of the Coronado shoreline will remain closed until sampling confirms these areas are safe for water contact.
