Samples taken Monday, September 28 showed elevated bacteria levels, according to an email sent by county officials Tuesday night.
The affected areas include spots in Cayucos, Avila Beach, Shell Beach, and Pismo Beach.
Crews posted health advisories at those sites to keep swimmers safe.
Health officials are testing the water again to see if conditions improve.
