Water & safety: No official advisory feed in our list for here yet — only the low-confidence satellite proxy below. · algal-bloom proxy: Somewhat elevated chlorophyll. We can't tell you whether it's safe to get in, call the currents, or vouch for marine life — mind the local flags/lifeguard and your own limits. This panel is informational; it never makes a safety call.
