German in Venice gets some footage of the sail boat that washed ashore at the Venice Breakwater.

Join Surfrider LA this Saturday morning for a cleanup at the Venice Pier. 10am-1pm.

Surfrider LA have everything you need from bags to gloves to trash pickers (just bring a reusable water bottle to fill at their drinking station). More volunteers are needed to help with sorting trash during the clean up - so bring new and old friends to give an extra hand.

NWS Los Angeles warns: Gusty North-Northeast winds will continue to impact portions of SW Calif through Friday. Here is a summary of expected wind speeds and impacts.

Surfline is predicting another solid run of northwest swells for north/central California this week, with SoCal seeing a smaller, but still fun, share of that. However, there's also an off-season south-southwest swell that's going to help out and contribute fun-size surf of it's own.

The average water temps as of January 27th.

HIGH SURF ADVISORY issued by National Weather Service through 9AM Wed, Jan 29. 4-6 ft WNW swell peaks Tues.
