But longer term, the year round view is recorded in Heal the Bay 23rd Annual Report Card, 2012-13, (100 pages).  Note:  Sharp Park Beach (projection at San Jose Avenue) received  San Mateo County "Honor Roll recognition, along with Montara State Beach (at Martini Creek), bottom of page 78. 

The 2012-13 Annual Heal the Bay Report measures 1) Summer Dry (April through October), 2) Winter Dry (November through March), and 3) Wet Weather (year round).  San Mateo County grades are listed on pages 88 and 89.

Okay, Linda Mar Beach still gets a D grade during wet weather, but that's better than an F, and remediation is underway.
