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

"It has not been raining for a while here in Los Angeles, but last night it was a thunderstorm. Lots of rain and it rained during the day. I wanted to check out how Venice Beach and the homeless encampment looked doing a rain storm. It is really sad to see that all the belongings of the homeless people are completely wet. They are not even able to sleep in the tent because most of the ground was flooded."

An Ocean Water Quality Rain Advisory has been declared for all Los Angeles County beaches. The advisory will be in effect at least until 7:00 am, Thursday, December 31, 2020. Beach users are cautioned to avoid water contact for at least 72 hours after significant rainfall. This advisory may be extended depending upon further rainfall.

A rain advisory is issued when there is significant rainfall that may cause bacteria levels in ocean waters to increase. Bacteria levels can increase significantly during and after rainstorms, as contaminants within the runoff enters the ocean. Bacteria levels may remain elevated up to 3 days depending upon the intensity of the rain and the volume of runoff. Elevated bacteria levels in ocean water may cause illness, especially in children and the elderly. The Department of Public Health recommends that beach users avoid contact with ocean water for a period of 3 days after significant rainfall, especially near flowing storm drains, creeks and rivers.

From the National Weather Service Los Angeles:

High surf advisories remain in effect for west facing beaches of SW Calif. through Tuesday afternoon. Sneaker waves can suddenly overtop jetties and dangerous rip currents can exist. Stay off of rock walls and jetties.

From the National Weather Service Los Angeles:

Special Marine Warning including the Outer waters from Santa Cruz Island to San Clemente Island to 60 NM offshore including San Nicolas and Santa Barbara Islands until 1:00 AM PST.

From the National Weather Service Los Angeles:

All eyes are on the first significant storm of the season Sun night-Mon. We're looking at 0.5-1" of rain across the board with 1-2" across SW facing coastal slopes.

A large northwest swell will bring elevated to high surf to most west-facing beaches through at least Tuesday. Large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet with local sets to 15 are expected along the Central Coast and 6 to 9 feet with local sets to 12 feet are expected along the Ventura County Coast. Elevated surf of 3 to 6 feet is expected along west-facing beaches of the Santa Barbara South Coast and the Los Angeles County Coast. The surf will peak twice: first on Sunday, then a higher peak is expected Monday afternoon and evening. There is a high likelihood that the Beach Hazards Statement for the LA County Coast will be upgraded to a High Surf Advisory on Monday. There is a high rip current risk for most beaches, so use extreme caution when in or near the water, and always swim near a lifeguard. Stay off rocks and jetties and never turn your back to the ocean.
