Shacked

Another atmospheric river event is expected Tuesday and Wednesday.

With this next storm comes hazardous marine conditions. High surf, gusty winds, and large seas will affect the coastal waters and beaches. Use caution around the water, and know your limits.

Due to the recent rainfall, Los Angeles County Health Officer, Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, is cautioning residents that bacteria, chemicals, debris, trash, and other public health hazards from city streets and mountain areas are likely to contaminate ocean waters around discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers after the rainfall. Individuals who enter the water in these areas could become ill.

This advisory will be in effect until at least Monday, March 13, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. This advisory may be extended depending on further rainfall.

BEACH AREAS WARNINGS:

• Torrance Beach at Malaga Cove.

• Mother’s Beach in Marina Del Rey.

• Santa Monica Canyon Creek at Will Rogers State beach.

• Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica.

• Pico-Kenter storm drain at Santa Monica Beach.

• Marie Canyon Storm Drain at Puerco Beach.

These warnings have been issued due to bacterial levels exceeding health standards when last tested.

Fight breaks out on the Venice Beach Boardwalk

After delighting guests with more than 12 million rides at the Santa Monica Pier, the 6,000 pound, 26 feet long, bright green Sea Dragon is taking its last ride into retirement with an epic helicopter flight across the Santa Monica Bay and landing at the Port of Hueneme.

Goodbye, Sea Dragon! You will be missed.
