The county's Department of Environmental Health and Quality is warning beachgoers of potentially hazardous water conditions along the coast. Officials say there may be are more bacteria, chemicals, debris, trash, and other public health hazards polluting the water from city streets and mountains.

DEHQ issued the advisory Thursday, and it will remain in effect through Sunday (December 12) at 3:30 p.m. They also caution people to be careful swimming, surfing, and playing on the beach during the time period.
