Saturday, June 18th: S swell holds through the day, a little more NW swell blends in. 2-3’+ at better S/combo exposures. Focal points 4-5′.
S swell (190-175) holds and NW windswell picks up a notch. Better summer and combo breaks through North LA are in the waist-stomach high+ range with occasional sets to chest high through the morning tide push. Wind looks a notch lighter overall in the morning but will follow a similar trend to Friday.
Sunday, June 19th: S swell eases, NW swell lingers. 2-3’+ at better S/combo exposures. Focal points 4’+.
S swell (190-175) slowly eases and keeps fun size in the water while NW windswell lingers and keeps combo spots peaky. Better summer and combo breaks through North LA are in the waist-stomach high range with some chest-high waves still in the mix. Wind is again looking favorable with mostly light/variable flow in the early morning. Moderate westerly onshore flow sets up by mid-afternoon, easing for most zones in the evening.

The June 21st, Go Skate Day events at the Venice Skatepark have been cancelled due to a threat of violence.

"I am very sad to announce that we have to cancel GSD in Venice." Heidi Lemmon, one of the events organizers, posted to Facebook on Saturday.

"With so many mass shootings in the usa every day we believe it is best to err on the side of safety. All the signs are there, the threats are credible and we will not take any chances where kids are involved. My sincere apologies to all our sponsors, the City of Los Angeles and Venice Recreation and Parks. * this is not a local he is an out of state person."

What we little info we gathered so far, is that someone wants to control all events ($$$$$) at the Venice Skatepark and threatened Heidi and "... anyone at the park that gets in the way."

UPDATED INFO:
Heidi Lemmon and on of the other event organizers do not want to give any "airtime" to the person who made the threats, so they are not disclosing who this individual is.

Some info about the person that has be going around the rumor mill is that he is from out-of-state, but currently local (opposite of the original info given) , and he is a Hispanic male in his 40's. Also that the "authorities" consider his threats "credible".
