TORRANCE — A Fin whale roughly 35 to 40 feet in length was found inside the surf line near Torrance Beach on Saturday night and died before rescuers arrived.
Lifeguards discovered the whale around 6 p.m. inside the surf line near the beach between Redondo Beach and Malaga Cove, according to a Los Angeles County Lifeguards post on X.

The Marine Mammal Care Center and National Marine Fisheries Service responded and the experts determined the whale had died, lifeguards said.
“Due to its size & location it is expected that the whale will remain on the beach while responders create a plan to remove it,” the statement said. “If you are in the area please give the animal & responders plenty of space to work!”
