Is it safe spearfishing Santa Barbara/Malibu after 5 straight days of rain?

Hey guys,

I know everyone says not to spear after its been raining. My question is if its been raining for 4 or 5 days straight will all the runoff already have washed out? Will it be safe? Anyone have any advice for me?

Thanks in advance

Jonas

So you think after 5 days of rain most of the runoff wouldn't be gone?

Maybe if we get lucky and the winds blow offshore for a couple of days, after the storms come through. There is a years worth of pesticides, dog shit, dead bodies and who knows what dumping into the ocean! If the winds don't co-operate than I'll be sitting out for a while.

Honestly I'm less concerned about the weather on Sunday or Monday, just want to get in the water lol

So basically the consensus is that the runoff will be too dangerous this Sunday and Monday to go spearing?

yeah like malibu john said there's an unlimited amount of crap to run down. It's not like some "cleansing rain". Only thing this much rain will cause is a sewage spillover.

I dive in it, blow out your ears and sinuses afterwards and stay away from surfrider and you're good to go.
The rest of you please all turn in your man cards you wussies.

I ain't tryin to get hepatitis bruh
We all might ass well raw dog any girl off the streets lmao jk. but what's the real deal here it seems like there are 2 groups one saying don't dive/swim in the ocean after it rains and the other saying it's ok and there's nothing to worry about. Someone shed some light without exaggerating.

Not just a lil runoff Kyle, We're talking the perfect storm of runoff!! The FIRST substantial rain after the worst drought in centuries. If they get 6-10 inches in the mountains here like they say-it's not gonna matter any way, you wont be able to see shit!!
