'you'll find it very wet' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'go on past los angeles' is the wordplay.
'past' says to put letters next to each other.
'los angeles' becomes 'LA' (abbreviation).
'go'+'on'='goon'
'goon' put after 'la' is 'LAGOON'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lagoon that I've seen before include "Pool" , "Body of salt water cut off from the sea" , "Inland sea" , "Shallow seaside lake" , "Lake inside coral reef" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
