DID YOU KNOW: Polluted runoff causes high and unsafe bacteria levels at the beach during rain events.  The County may not test or post warning signs at beaches during these periods.  For your health and safety, stay out of the water for 3 days after the rain stops.

 

 

These tests were conducted by community volunteers for the Laguna Beach Surfrider Chapter.

 

If you would like to test a location, the tests are conducted once a week and take 30 minutes.  Please e-mail: MargauxSurfrider@hotmail.com
