📰 News we're reading

1. Kelvin Wave Racing Toward CA Expected To Raise Sea Levels Along Battered Malibu Coast (patch.com) — Malibu's already-eroded shoreline is bracing for a coastally trapped Kelvin wave expected in early October that could raise local sea levels by 6 to 12 inches for months. Experts warn that, after Hurricane Marie's damage and sinkholes near Malibu homes, even a few extra inches of water could sharply increase flooding and erosion risks when combined with high tides and strong surf.
   

2. Trespasser stopped at Kamala Harris' Malibu home (diyatvusa.com) — Security personnel stopped a trespasser who entered Kamala Harris' Malibu property Friday night before reaching the home, and deputies have filed a trespassing report and increased patrols. Harris and Doug Emhoff were away, and the woman left when told, but the episode highlights ongoing security activity and law‑enforcement presence in this Malibu neighborhood.
   

3. Bacteria Warnings Continue For Malibu, Santa Monica Beaches (thesfnews.com) — If you're heading to the water in Malibu, be aware that county health officials have issued bacteria warnings for Malibu Lagoon at Surfrider Beach and Topanga Canyon Beach, advising people to avoid ocean contact. The alert, also affecting nearby Santa Monica and Marina del Rey spots, comes with reminders to keep beaches clean so contamination doesn't worsen.
   

4. Robert Downey Jr.'s Malibu Binishell Clubhouse Completed After Nine-Year Build (thebulletintime.com) — A long-running construction project at Robert Downey Jr.'s Malibu estate has produced a 6,500‑square‑foot, fire‑resistant Binishell clubhouse that finished in 2022 after years of local permitting. For Malibu residents, it's a high‑profile example of sustainable, wildfire‑resilient architecture that navigated the same strict environmental and coastal regulations many local builders face.
