On Sunday at about 10:00AM, we captured on our Instagram Story what appeared to be a shark swimming near Sunset.

Here's the photos shot by Six12 Media, unfortunately, it was too far out to get a clear up close shot of it.

After seeing the photos, it might not have been a shark.

On Instagram, @ouana pointed out that it may be a mola mola (ocean sunfish).

"Surf’s up! LA County beaches are reopening this Wednesday, May 13 for individual activities like swimming, surfing, jogging, and walking."

“LA County Beaches are reopening this Wednesday, May 13 for individual activities like swimming, surfing, jogging and walking." Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn announced today.

LA Beaches & Harbors confirmed the opening:

On 5/13, LA Co. beaches reopen w/ the following rules:
• Individual/family activities & exercise ONLY
• No lying or sitting on sand, canopies, coolers or picnicking
• 6+ ft. physical distancing & masks REQUIRED
• Parking lots, bike path, piers & boardwalks remain CLOSED

But take note, these city officials don't agree with each other on this, so one of them might cock block this decision. Also, Malibu said it's beaches are different than those down south, so they may nee additional time to set health guidelines before they open.

Around 5:00PM, Santa Monica has agreed to open their beaches via their social media accounts:

"Santa Monica beaches will reopen this Wednesday, May 13 for ocean activities and exercise with restrictions - specifically NO gathering, sitting & sunbathing."

According to Surfline, "Monday, May 11th: SSW/S swell puts well exposed spots in 4-5′ waves, sets up to 7′ at best breaks. Smaller NW swell eases. Light early morning winds due, moderate onshores by the afternoon. "

"Holding SSW/S (200-180) swell maintains chest-head high+ surf at good exposures in North LA. Easing, secondary NW pulse is mainly running thigh-waist high at exposures. Combo beachbreaks that pull in that swell blend will see some fun peaks. Light early morning winds due to turn to rising onshores later morning then mainly moderate WNW flow for the afternoon."

As we first reported via our Instagram Story, a bunch of people showed up today (Saturday, May 9th) at the entrance to the Santa Monica Pier to protest. Adults of all ages, a lot of kids, held signs and waved flags. And some girls who were there twerking for the cause.

Most were protesting California's quarantine closures, some were protesting the vaccine companies. And about three were there to sell hats and masks.

The lady on the bullhorn running the circus made it known to all that she is from San Diego and she is a big protester who is facing jail time down there.
