Michael Blum, executive director of nonprofit organization Sea of Clouds, will present “Sally Saves Spaces by the Seashore: Protecting Surfing Areas, Marine Cultural Heritage, and the Malibu Historic District” in the Surfboard Room at Payson Library on Thursday, November 1, at 11 AM.

The iconic Malibu surfing area, designated as the Malibu Historic District, is the first listing in the National Register of Historic Places centered on surfing history. The project recognizes Malibu's worldwide contribution to surfing's history and culture, secures specific protections, qualifies for other recognition and protection frameworks, and establishes a precedent and process for other projects.

While relevant for its focus on a specific surfing area, the Malibu Historic District is also a rationale for protecting other United States surf breaks and, more broadly, coastal locations possessing cultural and historical significance. Recognizing special coastal areas brings closer together goals of preservation and conservation. It encourages additional energy be placed into coastal conservation to promote a broader, deeper, and more inclusive interpretation of our coastal history.

Sea of Clouds is a nonprofit organization whose practice spans the fields of historic preservation and environmental conservation. With a focus on coastal places, the work of Sea of Clouds illuminates the human dimensions of natural ecosystems—connections between nature and culture—to address how communities fully express their interests and values in public trust contexts

As we move into our last full week of October, swell from both basins continue to deliver for California and Hawaii. Another round of long period SW-SSW swell builds into Southern California midweek, but only select spots will flourish. This "westerly" Southern Hemi energy rolls into Northern Caliornia as larger WNW swell joins the action. Once again, will winds hinder conditions? Meanwhile, the Hawaiian Islands get another good dose of SSW-South swell and small NNW pulse for exposed spots. Check out the Workweek Video Outlook below for your region to find out when you should be paddling out this week.

Sets up Fun Size Combo Swell For Many
The U.S. West Coast will see SW/SSW swell and NW/WNW swell throughout the work week with many areas also seeing light morning winds.
