This is the most iconic gym in the whole wide world, it’s every bodybuilder's dream from all over the world to work out on Muscle Beach in Venice, a historic place where Arnold Schwarzenegger started his career."

Saturday, March 12th: 2-3′ surf lingers. Light offshore wind for the AM.
Another clean morning with variable to locally light offshore flow for the morning. Most average winter breaks top out in the knee-high range with focal points still a little larger at times running around waist-high as some small new NW swell shows. The morning is the cleanest window of the day with light to moderate WNW wind expected to make a mess of the little waves by the afternoon.

Sunday, March 13th: 2-3’+ surf early builds PM. Light wind for the AM.
Another clean morning with fairly light wind. Fresh SSW swell builds in a little further through the day, with leftover NW energy in the morning getting a refresh over the afternoon. Look for size to creep up across the board through the afternoon/evening though conditions will likely be an issue then. The morning is the cleanest window of the day with light to moderate WNW wind expected to add texture/bump by the afternoon.
