Warning Signs Are Up at Ocean Beach: Stay Out of the Water

Sign danger pollted waterThe signs are up at Ocean Beach that warn people to stay out of the water. The County Department of Environmental Health says the bacteria levels in the water exceed healthy standards. Anyone who swims or surfs in the area takes the risk of getting sick.

This is especially important to follow right now, as weather reports have the weekend warming up into the 70s.

The signs will remain in place from the pier to the jetty until tests on the bacterial levels come back to normal.

Warning signs are up at several other beaches in San Diego County, including La Jolla Shores, 15th Street in Del Mar and Cardiff State Beach.
