If you’re looking to hit the beach on Long Island, health officials are warning against going in the water Friday. 

Bathing advisories have been issued for more than 75 beaches in Nassau and Suffolk counties due to elevated levels of bacteria following Thursday’s powerful rain storms. 

Bathing advisory for Nassau County beaches

In Nassau County, 14 north shore beaches are impacted, along with two on the south shore.

Health officials say the advisories should be lifted by 8 a.m. Saturday, just in time for a picture perfect weather weekend. 

The impacted beaches are located in places typically hit with stormwater runoff, and officials recommend waiting two successive tidal cycles after the rain has ended before going in the water.
