Whale Carcass Attracts Great Whites to Maverick’s

Surfpulse reports that a whale carcass drifted through the lineup at Maverick’s and into the lagoon at Pillar Point on the 11th and 12th.  It has apparently been attracting great white sharks. 

Besides the strong, unpleasant odor on the beach, the dead whale is likely to be attracting more sharks than usual to the area. Surfers and other ocean enthusiasts are advised that surfing- or doing anything else in the water- anywhere near a known shark attractant could be hazardous or life threatening. As of this morning, local authorities did not know what action would be taken to address this different type of Maverick’s beast.
