- The page labels its fecal-indicator forecast beta and distinguishes live scope from research roadmap.
Field notes
The map provides separate controls for wind, swell, water quality, and monitoring stations; its copy explains that wind arrows follow current direction while swell arrows show the direction energy travels. Regional summaries report both advisory counts and modeled coverage, while individual cards can include lab-test exceedance history. The page identifies the live forecast as fecal-indicator bacteria risk only and labels it beta.
