So how big's it gonna get Wed/Thurs/Fri on west coast?
- Thread starter oneworlded
- Start date
It's the shoreline from the Yacht club in the SB Harbor up a few hundred yards.
Before storm (without sand berm). Those pilings are about 8-10+ feet out of the sand now.
after storm:
Boat yard, looking towards Leds, lots of asphalt already failed.
Red is where they've already put rocks or are putting rocks. Yellow looks like it's happening there, too but I'm not 100% certain. (winter sand berm visible ). Google earth pic, all of that sand is gone. At high tide the water is up to those lines and underneath the yacht club.
Good explain. Thanks for the breakdown.
That club looks very low to the ground. One would think they would account for 50 or 100yr storm levels during the design and build process.
I was gonna say, I remember seeing that pic posted here years back. Compared to recent pics above.
That winter is still the gran-daddy-O of all winters in recent decades, for most all of CA.
We still have a few months left of winter, and storms are still lining up out to Japan, so we may see as much erosion as El Nino winter 82/83. We're kinda due actually. This is the 40 year anniversary of that winter. Yikes, I'm gettin' old.
Where were you in Jan/Feb 1983? Surf was solid overhead for over 3 weeks straight late Jan/early Feb.
Some days epic. Some days washing machine.
Looking from PV Indicator to Cove. Giant lefts way up from Ski Jump rocks.
When is the last time you saw the bike path in Redondo covered with sand from waves washing up to cliffs?

My mom and dad have pic scrap book with SB news paper shot of the breakwater during '83 El Nino...
Getting some pics of creeks and waterfalls in the Central Sierras and they are swelling fast. This spring going to be an epic melt. Merced River will probably flood Yosemite Valley a bit.
Damn, that is completely freestanding. Good comparison to how it is now. This is about 1 hour ago. You can see where the new rocks begin. Major change to that area on the other side of the club.
Follow up report:
1A External outlet with CFCI was had moisture in it and had tripped.
2A Internal powerstrip was cooked as well.
3A Bedroom outlet on same circuit, circuit fired.
1B Dried out the outlet with hairdryer on extension cord, reset CFCI, some some silicon goop to seal cover better.
2B Replaced powerstrip with more robust model.
3C Watched her reset circuit, saw she wasn't doing it properly, so pushed all the way "off" to click, then click back to "on".
4C Turned down bottle of wine as thanks.
23 second period starting to hit up here. Packed the car for surf after work, but the only surfable spot may or may not be chocolate milk with giant washthrough sets. Should I go?!
The boatyard was completely destroyed, the harbor entrance was rendered un-navigable for quite some time, the Biltmore pier got erased, the whole works.
I was in Maui last 2 weeks of Jan., first 2weeks Feb.
You want to talk about surf of biblical proportions
I didn't take the pic.
We were up there over Thanksgiving, I saw this flood water marker on the bridge.
1997 is where the water level was.
When you look around the area it's hard to believe anything was left.
1A a good solid cover that snaps closed when no plugs in and has foam under metal cover plate helps along with silicone around plate and conduit box specially thick on top and sides where h20 runs off walls.
