This app shows beach conditions in Encinitas

ENCINITAS, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Heading to the beaches in Encinitas? You can now use an app to check on beach conditions in their area.

Safe Beach Day is an app that features current weather and surf conditions, water temperature and which lifeguard towers are open or closed, the City of Encinitas said in a news release Tuesday. The app also produces safety alerts including weather, water quality, stingray activity and tides.

“Encinitas is a world-class beach city, hosting a multitude of recreational and relaxing beach activities,” said Encinitas Marine Safety Captain David Brown. “Hosting an application which allows the public to view conditions from their home computer or their handheld devices will enhance the public’s beach experience.”

Watch Tower, a lifeguard reporting system, is partnering with the City of Encinitas to provide the real-time beach conditions.
