Water Warnings Remain At San Diego Beaches Due To Bacteria Levels

SAN DIEGO, CA — Several beaches in San Diego County remain under water contact warnings due to high bacteria levels.

On Monday, health officials announced a water contact warning for the Silver Strand Shoreline.

"South swell conditions are present and pushing ocean waters from the south to the north," according to the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health and Quality.

Bacteria levels in the area exceed state health standards and ocean waters may contain sewage and cause illness, officials said.

The Tijuana Slough Shoreline from the international border to the south end of Seacoast Drive also remains closed until sampling confirms the water is safe, officials said. The public is advised to avoid contact as the water in this area is impacted by sewage and may cause illness.

Other beaches that remain under advisory include Bayside Park at J Street, Tidelands Park, San Diego River Outlet, North Cove Vacation Isle, La Jolla Cove, Avenida De La Playa, and the Children's Pool.
