Ventura County beaches will see more high surf today through 4 p.m. Friday — large breaking waves of 5 to 8 feet and local sets up to 10 feet is possible during high tide.

This day in history

On this day in 1916, The Sweetwater Dam broke in San Diego County due to heavy rains in January — which reached and negatively impacted portions of Orange and San Bernardino county.

Things to do

Enjoy the first full moon of the new year:

  • Full Moon Meditation: Experience the depth of a full moon meditation. Recharge and open yourself up to deep spiritual experiences. According to The Art of Living Foundation, meditating during a full moon is a huge opportunity for your emotional and spiritual growth. This event is free, but donations are welcomed.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
Senior Vice President News, Editor in Chief
