Heal the Bay recently released its 2023 beach report card, which provides an evaluation of the water quality of Southern California coastal hotspots. The organization assigns grades ranging from A to F to represent the risk of adverse health effects to beachgoers based on the water quality at specific locations.
Swimming in water with A or B grades is recommended by the nonprofit environmental group. An F grade indicates a concerning level of fecal matter bacteria in the water, which is detrimental to the beach. This year’s scores have been negatively impacted by various sewage-related issues, including spills, storms, and possible leaks, according to the group. Even something seemingly harmless, like high levels of seabirds in certain areas, can have a negative impact on the scores.
To provide this information in an easily accessible format, the organization offers an interactive map. Additionally, for those who prefer a text version of the data, there is a list of Los Angeles County beaches and a separate list of Orange County beaches available on the website. Each beach is graded three ways: during the dry summer months (April through October), the dry winter months (November through March), and wet weather conditions (year-round).
