Water quality at 24 beaches has been rated 'good' by the Environmental Protection Department for this weekend, while nine others are rated 'fair'.
Compared with the grading released last week, Repulse Bay Beach has been downgraded from good to fair.
Seven gazetted beaches - Anglers' Beach, Approach Beach, Ting Kau Beach, Casam Beach, Gemini Beaches, Hoi Mei Wan Beach and Lido Beach - are closed to swimmers year round because of poor water quality.
Many beaches are likely to be more polluted than their grades suggest during and after periods of heavy rain. Bathers should avoid swimming at beaches for up to three days after a storm or heavy rainfall.
For updates on beach water quality, see the department's website, or call the beach hotline, 2511 6666.
