Update from Beach and Surf Patrol: the flag status has been changed to YELLOW, today, June 11, 2019. We’re moving back  in the right direction. Let’s see some green!

Always remember that you have to check the actual flag at the beach before entering the water!  Remember to always swim with caution and, an absence of flags DOES NOT mean the water is safe.

Depending on what end of the beach they start on, it can sometimes be a few hours before the flags are changed on this end of the beach.
