Beach Clean Up this Sunday in Santa Monica, hosted by GO Surf LA.


According to Surfline "the biggest south swell of the season" is coming and it has a name!!!!!!!

The "La Bomba Swell", they are calling it.

"This biggest south swell of the season so far is set to light up every south-facing nook and cranny from Peru to Canada."

Saturday, April 24th: 4’+ waves on average, standouts up to 5-7’+. Favorable morning winds.
Solid, long period new S swell (190-170) peaks. For the zones that maximize straight S swell (southern Ventura into North LA), this should be a notch+ larger than the Easter swell with widespread chest-head high surf as good spots go overhead+. Light/variable wind prevails through the first half of the morning. Wind gradually trends onshore from the SW, light+ to moderate W wind developing through the afternoon. Wind drops off for most regions in the evening but don’t expect as much of a cleanup as Friday evening.

Sunday, April 25th: 4’+ waves on average, standouts up to 5-7’+. Light morning winds.
Solid, long period new S swell (190-170) lingers. Not expecting size to be down much from Saturday for the zones that maximize straight S swell (southern Ventura into North LA), with widespread chest-head high surf as good spots go overhead+ in the morning. Wind not looking as favorable with light/variable to light onshore wind to start the morning, gradually picking up into midday with light+ to moderate W/SW wind by midday, but there should still be some windows of decent surf to be had. Afternoon wind is looking even worse with moderate to breezy westerly flow for most exposures.

That huge 2-story homeless shed in Marina Del Rey has finally been tore down.



It was built by this guy from the Camino Island area north of Seattle, who came to Los Angeles to be a musician, after he failed to make it as one in Nashville. His name is Sean Tyrrell.



Sean was not homeless when he first arrived in Venice, he was staying at the Pod Share, but apparently he got into some arguements because of his music and got kicked out.



“From there I slept in my car three or four nights just around the area looking for places I could pitch a tent. I finally settled on this place." Sean told an interviewer. "Back then, there were other people living here on the sidewalk but not jammed like in other parts of the city. The people that were here got paid to leave. I was offered $100 but I’d already made good progress with my building. I’m legally here and I've obviously spent a lot of time investing in the structure. The offer was an insult.”

So for almost a year, Sean has been building up his shed and battling his residents of the area. He claims they send people to harm him and damage his property. “There’s a few people in the neighborhood who were paying people to attack me for no reason."



L.A.F.D. claimed his "artist studio" to be a definite fire hazard. And after months and months of complaints to the city, it was finally tore down.



Full interview with this guy from March can be read here on Facebook.

The first south swell of the season will bring rising surf to south facing beaches, 3-6 feet but higher surf possible in some areas. Strong rip currents expected.
