We did not swim this Sunday. The recent storms had loaded up San Luis Obispo Creek with silt and bacteria so we stayed out of the water. 

The local Surfrider Chapter's Blue Water Task Force samples the mouth of San Luis Obispo Creek on Thursday and found Enterococcus bacteria levels more than 60 times the state recommended maximum. Enterococcus is the EPA's lead indicator for the presence of human waste.
