According to Surfline: "Mainly small NW swell mix Sunday, as some SSW swell starts to move in, NW and SSW/S swell mix creeps up next week."

Sunday, June 13th: 2-3′ surf from mix of NW windswell, minor SSW swell. Best combo breaks up to 3’+.
Short-period NW swell continues as the primary source of surf, pulsing back up a bit from Saturday. Minor southerly swell mixes in. For most spots, waves are in the knee-thigh high+ range, as best NW exposures and top combo breaks are around waist high or a little better. Afternoon wind is lighter than it’s been of late for most spots, light+ to locally moderate WSW to W wind 7-10kts.

Monday, June 14th: 2-3’+ waves off a mix of NW windswell, slow rising SSW swell. Standouts see 4′ sets. Light AM winds.
More of a long-period SSW swell moves in, while short-period NW swell edges up. Morning winds are looking light across the board, followed by light+ to locally more westerly onshores for the afternoon, mainly staying under 10kts.

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

"Today, Sheriff Alex Villanueva returned to Venice Beach. He walked down the boardwalk and shook the business owners hands. He got a lot of heat from some activists for trying to clean up the homeless encampments in Venice Beach."

"Los Angeles Police Officers issue citations to homeless for illegal camping on Venice Beach, Thursday, June 10, 2021. In addition to issuing citations, the LAPD Officers were offering information on resources for the homeless and explaining where it is legal to camp on public property and where it is illegal."

On Tuesday, June 8th, 2021, a coordinated effort from detectives and officers of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Pacific Area led to the arrest of a violent felony battery Suspect involved in a Venice beach incident that was captured on video.

Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics transported the victim to a local area hospital where he was treated for serious injuries.

According to LAPD, "Macio Harger, a 45-year-old resident of Los Angeles, is homeless and was residing in one of the homeless encampments on the Venice beach boardwalk close to where the incident took place. Harger was arrested for 243(d) PC, “Battery Causing Serious Bodily Injury” and awaiting filing recommendations by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office. Detectives are currently in the process of determining a motive for the attack."

The part about him being a "resident of Los Angeles" does not appear to be correct though, as some evidence is online that claims he is from Illinois and came out to LA only about a year or two ago.

This is the same homeless man seen acting violent in several previos videos such as the one below:

He also robbed the Vans Store in Santa Monica back in January: "On January 19, 2021 at approximately 2:50 a.m." a previous police report states, "Officers observed the front Plexiglass window of the Van store located near the 400 block of Broadway was broken. Officers observed that the broken area was large enough for someone to make entry. After patrolling the area, officers encountered Macio Harger, riding a bicycle and carrying a long board with a Vans price tag attached to the wheel. Mr. Harger had been observed earlier in the evening in the area of Vans where multiple shoe boxes were stacked in the doorway holding a large black trash bag. Mr. Harger was detained pending the burglary investigation. A witness provided officers with a black trash bag filled with merchandise and identified Mr. Harger as having tossed it over the fence which Mr. Harger confessed to. A subsequent search of Mr. Harger’s belongings uncovered screwdrivers, bolt cutters, pliers and a saw blade. Mr. Harger was booked for 466 PC – Possession of Burglary Tools and 459 PC Burglary. He was issued a citation and released from custody."

So no doubt, he will most likely be released again and back on the Venice Boardwalk by tomorrow.
