I may have a free weekend, so I thought I'd hit the BEACH!

Can anyone give me recent reports on VIS and general conditions? I didnt see anything posted . . .

Thanks!

Giggaty!

If that holds, I'm there on DA beach.

I'd like to find those new concrete blocks they put in, can anyone give me fairly decent directions?

THE BLOCKS:

Someone was discussing on SB, about blocks that had been placed in the water just off Venice Beach. I'm not sure if it is a erosion fix, or something like a reef. I doubt it's a reef, it's supposed to be just off shore.

The tide action, moves the sand around the blocks giving you a opportunity to find stuff.

AT least, that is what I believe I read.

Unless, I was overly tired from my drive.

Heh.

The blocks are due west of the 3 big trees off Alhambra. when you hit the water angle west north west about 100 yards.

Jenny's got it right; the blocks are at Alhambra.

There are also blocks off South Brohard beach, but most non locals don't dive there.

At venice beach..from the parking lot off of venice ave, enter by the convenience store. You'll see a swim bouy about 100 yards out..I usually surface swim to that then just head east..you'll hit the blocks.

My dad and I stumbled upon brohard on a pretty bad day..looking forward to going back out when the conditions are a bit better.
