El Niño brings dangerous high tides, chance of flooding to SLO County ahead of rain

The El Niño will show off on the Central Coast this week, bringing extremely high tides and strong rip currents to San Luis Obispo County beaches on Monday and Tuesday, and a chance of rain later in the week. A coastal flood advisory and high surf advisory are in effect for San Luis Obispo County beaches until Tuesday at noon, according to the National Weather Service. High tides of up to 7 feet may cause moderate flooding in low-lying coastal areas like beach parking lots, bike paths and harbor walkways. Meanwhile, beaches can expect large breaking waves of 10 to 16 feet with dangerous rip currents. The weather service urged people to stay out of the water. “There is an increased risk for ocean drowning,” the weather service said. “Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats near shore.” San Luis Obispo County can expect sunny skies and temperatures in the low-to-mid 80s on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The forecast then calls for a chance of rain on Friday, and mostly sunny skies with a slight chance of rain on Saturday night.

SLO County still plans to seek bids for ambulance contract - but uncertainty looms

Dozens of local paramedics, fire and public health officials packed San Luis Obispo County’s government building on Tuesday to watch supervisors receive an update on its ambulance services contract. Many in the crowd called for the county to drop its current plan to move forward with a competitive bidding process for ground emergency ambulance transport — a process that could result in San Luis Ambulance losing the contract its held since 1945. San Luis Ambulance paramedic Chad Robertson compared the provider to the beating heart of the community’s public health and safety community. “I’m not suggesting our EMS system is perfect or shouldn’t evolve, but there’s a difference between improving a system and disrupting relationships that have made it successful,” Robertson said during nearly an hour of public comment. “Like the human body, when the heart and all those systems are working together, you just don’t disrupt the balance without a very good reason.” For the first time in October 2025, the SLO County Board of Supervisors voted to launch a request-for-proposal process for ground medical transport. Requests for proposals, or RFPs, are a common government practice in San Luis Obispo County with the county frequently putting contracts out to
