How this page sorts

Sorted by lowest poor-sample rate across up to 12 latest displayed samples, then by current status, sample freshness, and current bacteria reading. Only direct name-and-location samples can appear in the ranked picks; nearby-station records are listed separately.

When to use it

Use this page when you care most about the displayed sample record, not just what looked best in one recent sample.

What still overrides it

Heavy rain, runoff, brown water, or a stale sample can make any ranked list less trustworthy for a same-day swim call.

How To Use This View

Use this page when you care most about the displayed sample record, not just what looked best in one recent sample.

Top picks and the ranked list use only the 3 direct name-and-location beach samples. The 10 nearby-station context records stay separate and cannot identify the strongest exact beach.

If it has rained recently, use the rain guide before trusting any beach list too much.
