Kirk's SF Peninsula & Waddell Poop Report for Wind and Kite Surfers 4-13-18

Latest Poop Report on San Francisco Peninsula and Waddell Beach Water Quality.
4/13/18 Comment: While still well above the "null" readings we get inside the bay after a few weeks of no rain, the water quality is pretty good.  On the other hand, some spots on the coast have poor water quality after the recent storms.

This report tracks results of weekly water quality reports that are of interest to windsurfers, kite boarders, regular surfers and anyone else who enjoys water sports where you are in the water.

  • The San Mateo data comes from "San Mateo County Environmental Health - Beach and Creek Water Quality Monitoring Results" posted here.
  • The Waddell Creek Beach data comes from "Santa Cruz County Water Quality Reports" posted here.
  • The goal is to have a record of how "clean" or "safe" our beaches are for our sports during the days following major rain events.
  • If there is interest for me to expand these reports or add more information, then please post that in the comments
  • Unfortunately, San Francisco City and County does not publish the raw data but they do sample the water weekly and publish a dot chart at S.F. PUC Beach Water Quality.
