San Luis Obispo health officials warn against ocean contact post-rain due to health risks.

The San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department warns the public to avoid ocean water contact during and three days after significant rainstorms due to runoff carrying disease-causing organisms, which can lead to skin, respiratory, and intestinal issues. Vulnerable groups like the elderly, young children, and those with weakened immune systems are especially at risk. For more information, visit www.SurfSafeSLO.org or call (805) 788-3411.
