According to KTLA 5, the man was arrested on suspicion of disobeying a lifeguard and violating Gov. Gavin Newsoms stay at home order, a misdemeanor.
Those who defy the stay-at-home order face a $1,000 fine, up to six months in jail or both.
Last week, another Los Angeles County surfer was issued a citation after he allegedly ignored a lifeguard who asked him not to enter the ocean and said, Go ahead and arrest me.
The lifeguard then called the police on the man.
According to the lifeguard, when he got to the beach that morning there were 150 surfers in the water and dozens of bikers and joggers in the trails nearby.
Local surfers know lifeguards cant issue citations. So when we told them not to go in the water they ignored us. When we told people on The Strand to leave, they pointed to the surfers and they ignored us, he said. People didnt comply until the police arrived and ordered the water, beach and The Strand cleared over their bullhorns. Then, everyone, including the surfers left.
The surfer who was cited by police arrived after the snitch lifeguard had already got police to clear the beach.
The footage below allegedly shows police issuing the citation.
