💧WATER QUALITY RESULTS💧

Our (BWTF) took water quality samples at 11 sites around on 8/22/2026.

Our program only tests for the presence of enterococcus, bacteria that indicate f***l pollution (human or animal waste). When present, there are usually other pathogens in the water as well that can make humans sick.

Thank you to our awesome volunteers and staff at the Oregon Coast Aquarium who dedicate every other Saturday to ensure we all know it’s safe to surf, swim, and enjoy our beaches! 🤙

📣 NEW ON YOUTUBE!! EPISODE 13

🔺️ "A "Super El Niño" is building in the Pacific, and forecasters warn the 2026–27 winter could bring some of California's most powerful storms, highest seas, and worst coastal erosion in decades. But the greater long-term threat isn't the waves — it's how we respond to them. Surfrider CEO Dr. Chad Nelsen and Dr. Charles Lester, director of UC Santa Barbara's Ocean and Coastal Policy Center, unpack what makes this El Niño so strong, and what back-to-back storms could mean for a coast where up to 70% of beaches are at risk of disappearing by 2100."

🔺️"This conversation centers on the knee-jerk reaction to armor shorelines with seawalls and revetments — and the "coastal squeeze" that quietly erases the beaches in front of them. Our guests explain why emergency armoring is the wrong answer to a disaster we can see coming, and make the case for pragmatic coastal adaptation. It's a clear-eyed, hopeful look at how Californians can protect their public beaches and coastal access, before the storms hit." (- Surfrider.Org)
