"Residents have been stumped over a patch of bubbles rising out of the ocean off the coast of Hermosa Beach this week, prompting several beachgoers to speculate at what exactly is under the surface and causing the water to spume. Videos of the bubbles, visible between 33rd Street and Longfellow Avenue, spread on social media, with commenters offering a variety of wild and not-so-wild theories. Neighbors stood on the street in the rain, gazing out into the ocean, wondering what was causing it."
"A major clue to uncovering the mystery came Tuesday, when a boat was spotted out on the water, floating near the bubbles that were drawing curious questions. "Same spot as yesterday," said Mark Zurales in a video posted on Facebook, showing a boat on the water and a circle of white bubbles surfacing beside it. The video generated plenty of theories but few answers."
Residents observed a patch of bubbles rising from ocean waters off Hermosa Beach, prompting speculation about their origin, including whales, submarines, and mythical creatures. Videos captured bubbles between 33rd Street and Longfellow Avenue and spread on social media, generating wild and mundane theories. A boat was later spotted floating near the bubbling area, and a video by Mark Zurales showed a circle of white bubbles beside the vessel. Observers suggested gas release, bait balls, unmanned-submarine testing, or marine life, while one person paddled out with a surfboard to investigate. The most plausible explanation is a nearby boat-linked gas release.
