San Diego County Issues General Rain Advisory for All Beaches and Bays

Officials warn storm runoff can spike bacteria levels, prompting a 72-hour no-contact window after rainfall.

Overview

  • County health officials cite storm-driven runoff as a source of elevated bacteria near storm drains, creek mouths, river outlets and lagoons.
  • Advisories remain posted at La Jolla Children’s Pool, Imperial Beach Shoreline, Lawrence Street, North Cove Vacation Isle, Fanuel Park and Crown Point for bacteria exceedances.
  • The Tijuana Slough shoreline from the international border to three-quarters of a mile north of the Tijuana River outlet stays closed until water testing deems it safe.
  • Beachgoers can find real-time status updates through the county’s Beach & Bay Water Quality Program at sdbeachinfo.com or by calling 619-338-2073.
  • The National Weather Service keeps a flood watch in place for the county’s mountains and deserts through late Thursday night after widespread showers and thunderstorms.
