SGI State Prk open despite tar balls

We are trying to quell the rumors going around that the park is closed.  The park is not closed and has not been closed.  We restricted swimming for a day due to extreme surf and rip current conditions – Sunday Afternoon and Morning morning.

There are tar balls on the beach that visitors are being made aware of but we are not closed.

The park is open, surf conditions have improved and swimming restrictions lifted.  We are flying the red flag this morning due to moderate-heavy surf conditions. Surf conditions change and we will fly the appropriate flag to advise visitors of surf conditions.

Double red flag – no swimming / extreme surf and currents
Red flag – Heavy surf and strong currents
Yellow flag – Medium surf and currents
Purple Flag – dangerous marine life present – usually posted when man-o-war are in the surf
Green flag – calm conditions
