    Anyone get in the water in Long Beach? I've heard of people getting rashes and such, any changes?

    Are you talking about because of the storm months ago? I'm pretty sure the ocean is back to normal if not close to it. It was reportedly nearly back to normal by December. The ocean doesn't take long. Lots of water constantly moving.


    That being said I don't know of anyone that isn't back into their regular surf routine and I also don't know of anyone that has gotten sick, not now nor soon after the storm.
