Beach Water Use Advisory: Advisory for all Los Angeles County beaches in effect until Thursday, December 26 at 7:30 a.m.


Because of the recent rainfall, Los Angeles County Health Officer, Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, is cautioning residents who are planning to visit Los Angeles County beaches to avoid swimming, surfing, and playing in ocean waters around discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers. Bacteria, chemicals, debris, trash, and other public health hazards from city streets and mountain areas are likely to contaminate ocean waters at and around these outlets after a rainfall. Individuals who enter the water in these areas could become ill.

Discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers only comprise a small portion of the beach; therefore, anybody who wants to go to other areas at the beach can still enjoy their beach outing.



Areas of the beach apart from discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers are exempted from this advisory. This advisory will be in effect until at least Thursday, December 26 at 7:30 a.m. This advisory may be extended depending on further rainfall.

Recorded information on beach conditions is available 24 hours a day on the County's beach closure hotline: 1-800- 525-5662. Information is also available online at: PublicHealth.LACounty.gov/Beach



Malibu's Frankie Seely and the Hamboards tribe let go on the waves and paves of Venice, from the iconic Windward Ave to the Pier.



Vehicle break ins are on the rise once again. LAPD is passing out these flyers warning surfers to stop hiding there keys in wheelwells or behind bumpers when they go surfing.

Our photographers have watched first hand these pieces of shit casing vehicles at surf spots such as Sunset, Topanga and the spots in Malibu. If you watched our Instagram Stories, you'd have seen us scare them off a few times.

Some of the thieves will have one person sit in one vehicle parked at the spot, watching who hides their keys, then they call to the other and tell them which vehicles to go break into.

At least, get a good key lockbox to deter these assholes.

We watched this guy casing cars and made him leave:
