For the second time in a week, the rare, serpentine oarfish has surfaced on a Southern Cali beach [View all]

What the hell is going on with the Cali beaches?

For the second time in a week, the rare, serpentine oarfish has surfaced on a Southern California beach.
Beach goers at Oceanside Harbor crossed paths Friday afternoon with the deep-sea monster when its carcass washed ashore, Oceanside Police Officer Mark Bussey said. The fish measured 13 ½ feet long.
