"I was having so much fun going straight but then I saw it..."
One of the worst places to surf in all of Southern California is, without doubt, Venice Beach. The iconic strip, just south of Santa Monica and north of LAX, has much to do including rollerblading, breakdancing, purchasing marijuana accessories, observing men painted like robots acting like robots, eating hot dogs wrapped in bacon etc. but riding waves is not one of them. Venice is a magnet for waist-high straight-handers but that has not stopped the hordes of VAL whom have begun their soft-top journey in these the Covid and post-Covid days of our lives.
Alas, it appears their springtime zoom zoom is being strangled by gross. Per the LA Daily News:
According to the county Department of Public Health, roughly 14,400 gallons of untreated sewage spilled into the creek between Wednesday and midday Thursday, discharging into the ocean. The source of the spill was not immediately released.
Health officials issued a closure order directing people to avoid the ocean water and any wet sand on the beach one mile north and south of Ballona Creek. That encompasses an area stretching from the southern end of Venice Beach, through the Marina del Rey area and south through Dockweiler State Beach.
“The Department of Public Health will conduct water sampling beginning (Friday), and the closures will remain in effect until Public Health receives two sampling results indicating that bacteria levels meet health standards,” according to the agency.
Come for the hemp bracelets, stay for the cholera.
Baby yuck yucks.

Sounds like they gave Venice a much needed washing
Is there a stretch of beach that has more BS to deal with for waves as bad as Venice? Parking sucks, lots of tweakers looking to jack your stuff, weird mix of unpredictably annoying kooks and predictable eggy locals. It can get pretty good but somewhere in the south bay will probably be better.
moved there late 80s, First surf was incredible, off shore etc. next day rode my bike down to jetty came out of the surf to find two boulders through it. 20 ish V13 guys mad dogging me 30 feet away. left.

The skatepark and sunsets are fantastic. And the sweet smell of weed disguises any foul smells.
14,400 gallons? Pffff….That’s just a baby spill by LA standards.
I’m pretty sure a 14,000 gallon raw sewage spill into Imperial Beach in SD would actually make the water cleaner. Thanks Tijuana 🤙
