South Swell Rings The Dinner Bell

MALIBU - Lifeguards were on the watch today for any sign of a shark that was seen off the coast of Malibu, but a lifeguard said the sighting was not that unusual. "It's their home," said county lifeguard Capt. Terry Harvey. Harvey said he did not know what type of shark was seen yesterday off the coast, only that it was "fairly sizeable." Bay Watch vessels were patrolling the waters, but the shark was not seen today, Harvey said. Some believe the shark, which was sighted yesterday about a quarter-mile off the coast, could have been a Great White, but it also could have been a Mako, which is similar in appearance, KTLA5 reported. disgruntled surfers chumming to thin things out. didn't work....yet.
