Beaches and harbors, every morning
Beaches: a daily water quality forecast for coastal beaches, set every morning before the lab results come back.
Harbors: water oxygen and harbor hazards for US harbors and marinas.
A water sample takes a day or more in the lab, so today's posting reflects yesterday's water or older.
Many beaches are tested weekly or monthly, especially outside summer.
We show the official call next to our forecast, never in place of it. When data is too stale to call, we say so.
The people who already reach beachgoers and boaters, and the agencies whose data makes this possible.
