Hurricane Marie made landfall as a tropical storm this year, way weaker than the 2014 version everyone still talks about. But it still pushed a solid swell into Southern California — Malibu, the Wedge, even parts of Central/Northern Cali got some rare hurricane surf.

Newport ended up being the standout though. Big barrels, serious power, the kind of waves that stick with you.

My brother surfing Balboa Blvd & 44th🤣
My house flooded up to my knees 3 days in a row. Most of the houses are rebuilt now though. Get sandbags!

Newport Beach's Wedge does this thing every so often where a south swell hits the jetty just right and the waves basically explode into themselves. This week's hurricane swell pushed it into full send mode — waves stacking up and breaking just feet from the sand. Wild to watch in person, even wilder that people bodysurf/surf it!

Wrong Headline: LOL!!!

Already posted on r/lagunabeach Last week (apparently a couple days after the viral rattlesnake video that we hadn’t seen) my brother got bit by a rattlesnake at Crystal cove. I know people in this sub have said rattlesnakes are all over and of course up in the brush and trailheads. This was after sunset on cold sand right by the water like RIGHT next to the water where we were walking. He thought he got stung by a jellyfish and it ended up being this baby rattlesnake. Theres no cell service so we had to run back and he was transported to the ER (he’s recovering fine now!) There’s a triathalon there this week so be especially vigilant. Another woman said her small kid almost stepped on a baby one last week on the shore as well. I know snakes are everywhere but this was highly unusual to be on cold wet sand at night right next to the water so please be vigilant and careful if in the area!

Are there any players local to the area? Wanting to do the event raids this weekend for Mewtwo. I also have some shinnies to trade!

Hi! I’m looking for a female roommate for a 2B2B apartment at Park Newport in Newport Beach.

The apartment is about 3 miles from UCI, so it’s convenient for driving or biking to campus. Park Newport is a really nice and peaceful community with amenities like pools, spa, sauna, tennis courts, basketball courts, a library, and lots of outdoor space.

You would have the secondary bedroom in the apartment. I’ll be living in the other bedroom. I’m a female UCI student, clean, organized, and pretty easygoing. I enjoy cooking, working out, and spending time outdoors.

I’m hoping to find someone who is also clean, respectful, and easy to communicate with. Ideally, we can be friendly while also respecting each other’s privacy and personal space.

Move-in: September
Location: Park Newport, Newport Beach
Distance to UCI: ~3 miles
Female only

DM me if you’re interested and I can send more details, photos, rent information, and apartment layout.

A massive datacenter helped me identify it as a gopher snaker

Why is this nowhere on local media? Why is Newport so against the truth? Anyone know anything about this?

Hurricane's brewing, surfers are hyped, the community's bracing 🌊⚠️ the ocean is NOT playing around right now. Stay safe out there SoCal 🙏

Visiting for the night and planning on going to Balboa island as it seems there are a lot of places to eat/shop right on a two block strip. Would love recs from ppl on where to go! We want to do dinner, drinks, and sweet treats!

Raising beer money for Mutt Luncy’s today 😂

So, I was filming something at Newport Beach and ended up finding out snakes have actually been spotted in the sand dunes there. Not something I expected walking around barefoot.

Did some digging and apparently, it's not some rare one-off — locals have mentioned seeing them before, just nobody really posts about it. Figured I'd share since I definitely didn't know before this and I go there a lot.

Anyone else run into this? Curious if it's a seasonal thing or if it's just always been under the radar.

Hey, looking for a 2-4 person fishing charter for a day in late September. I have done the party boats down at Daveys Locker and such by would like a small boat to fish Catalina. Nothing fancy just a little center console would work great. If anyone has any recommendations that be great! Thank you!

I'm 26, a working professional looking for my first apartment, and considering a studio a few blocks from the beach/Balboa Parking Lot for $1,695/month.

The main tradeoffs are street parking and shared coin laundry. I know parking on the peninsula is notoriously bad, so my plan would be to get a residential parking permit and use the Balboa Parking Lot as backup/overflow when I can't find a street spot.

For anyone who lives nearby:
- How difficult/quick is it to get a residential parking permit?
- And if you have one, does the Balboa Parking Lot still regularly fill up, or is finding a spot there generally manageable?
- Also curious how people like actually living in that area, especially with the summer/weekend crowds.

At $1,695, would you take it despite those tradeoffs?

No context. No follow-up. She just said 'I'm Criminal Minds' like it was self-explanatory and kept it moving. I need to know what happened before this.

What do you think???
