Mike, aka German in Venice, vlogs about daily life in Venice Beach, and the nearby communities.

"A homeless lady started a fire on the Venice Boardwalk. The tent caught on fire, luckily LAPD was patrolling on the beach and saw the fire. They turned off the fire whith sand really quickly before the fire department arrived."

"Since they started enforcing the no camping rule on the beach, lots of tents have been removed already from the sand."

Mike, aka German in Venice, vlogs about daily life in Venice Beach, and the nearby communities.

"Today, I heard from a friend of mine that the police are ticketing the homeless people for camping on the beach. I did not see people actually getting tickets, but I talked to a few people and they told me that some people got tickets already. I met up with my friend Gucci and we had a little talk he always makes me smile."

The 27th Annual Venice Surf-A--Thon Surf Contest is going to happen on Saturday, December 12th. See the contest flyer above for more info.



Water temps have seen an 8° temperature swing over the past 10 days.



King Tides are coming. See the highest high tides and lowest low tides of the year on November 15-16 and December 13-15, 2020.

A King Tide is a non-scientific term people often use to describe exceptionally high tides. Tides are long-period waves that roll around the planet as the ocean is "pulled" back and forth by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun as these bodies interact with the Earth in their monthly and yearly orbits. Higher than normal tides typically occur during a new or full moon and when the Moon is at its perigee, or during specific seasons around the country.

King Tides occur when the Moon aligns with the Sun, and is also at its closest position relative to the Earth. This exerts cumulative gravitational pulls on Earth, resulting in the most extreme high and low tides of the year. In California, experts say that King Tides today are what we can expect our daily high tide to look like in the next few decades under climate change and sea level rise predictions.
