Good news for beachgoers: a portion of ocean water closure in Malibu has been lifted after recent tests show that bacterial levels are back within safe health standards. According to a bulletin issued by LA County, the stretch from Encinal Canyon to 31250 Broad Beach Rd. is now open for public enjoyment as of the latest water quality results from January 31 and February 1, as reported by the County of Los Angeles.
However, not all waters are clear for a dip. A closure remains from Las Flores State Beach to Santa Monica State Beach due to fire impacts, in effect until deemed safe. An advisory is also in place from Surfrider Beach to Las Flores State Beach and from Santa Monica State Beach to Dockweiler State Beach at World Way, urging caution for swimmers.
For those who want more details, the ocean water closure and advisory information is readily available on Los Angeles County's Environmental Health website, and for the tech-savvy, there's always the option to ring up the advisory hotline at 800-525-5662 for the latest updates. Questions and concerns can also be directed to the contact center via telephone at (626) 430-5360.
