As of Tuesday, May 3, approximately 133,000 cubic yards of sand have been deposited on City beaches. Grunion monitoring has found a high volume on our beaches. Additionally, large 15-foot swells are anticipated today. The dredge pipe located under the pier will be removed in anticipation of the large swells in order to protect the public and the pilings supporting the pier.

Vote centers are open throughout the county for an extended period before Election Day. Rather than a single day of service, poll workers are now needed to staff vote centers up to 11 days in the two weeks before Election Day. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
