Know before you go

Check beach flags before swimming. Offshore forecasts do not describe breaking waves or currents at the beach.

Forecasts and community sightings cannot certify safe swimming, water quality, an absence of jellyfish or safe trail access. Follow beach flags, lifeguards and official notices. Inland water can be seasonal; these are not swimming recommendations.
