The red flag on the lifeguard station indicates the water is closed. It has been raining for most of the past week. With even a little rain the beach becomes too contaminated to swim or surf or even wade in safely. About 3 days of dry weather are needed for the currents to clean out the water. The closure has been for over a week and is predicted to extend at least through all this week.
Because of the way the currents flow there are more closures in winter in Playas de Tijuana and more in the San Diego beaches in the summer, primarily because the Tijuana river mouth is north of Tijuana and south of San Diego.
La bandera roja en el puesto de los salvavidas quiere dicir que el agua esta' cerrada. Ha lluviada para una semana. No mas que poca lluvia puede contaminar la playa para no permitir nadar, sufear, ni caminar en el mar con seguridad. Mas o menos 3 dias sin la lluvia son necesarios para limpiar el mar. La clausura fue para una semana y por supuesto (por la lluvia que viene) va a continuar otra semana.
Por los corrientes hay mas clausuras en el invierno en Playas de Tijuana y mas en el verano en las playas de San Diego, porque la boca del Rio Tijuana esta' norte de Tijuana y al sur de San Diego.
