This Weekend's Beach Grades for Los Angeles County
A look at beach water quality grades in Los Angeles County for the weekend of July 6-7.
The interactive map is a water quality report for beaches in dry weather from the past 30 days compiled from data courtesy of Heal the Bay, a nonprofit environmental group.
Beach grades are based on an A+ to F scale. Grades indicate the likelihood of swimmers becoming ill. Water samples are analyzed for bacteria – enterococcus, total and fecal coliforms. The report does not measure the amount of trash or toxins found at local beaches.
The ratings on this interactive map are marked as follows:
- Dark Blue Marker = A+
- Light Blue Marker = A
- Green Marker = B
- Yellow Marker = C
- Pink = D
- Red Marker = F
- Purple Marker = No sample taken
