History
What this means
San Pedro C A Goleta is running below normal at 5.00 ft.
The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 4.99 ft and 5.16 ft.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
Compared with 5 years of daily readings for this time of year. How to read levels
Floating and fishing near San Pedro C A Goleta
Low water exposes gravel bars that make good wading access, but some boat ramps may be left high and dry.
