King Tides in Laguna Beach, It Could Be Bad.

Some crazy tornado went through the golf course. Dude, this is gnarly! I was like, I have a scooter! Circle K is almost under water. Dana Point waterfall. Crazy, they fully closed this other lane. Spicolis, surf report, and the crack. Today was kind of interesting because we had big rain last night and a bunch of wind, so the tarps got pretty torn up. up and I was expecting to see a little bit more shedding from the cliff than what I saw this morning. I thought there'd be kind of some new fresh dirt that had fallen underneath the tarp but it looked like it held up pretty decent actually. There's definitely a lot of exposed exposed cliff underneath the tarp sections that got blown over. Band-aid looks like it's about to get ripped off that's for sure and today they're gonna lay concrete at low tide so we just checked on the high tide waves were definitely still washing up to the base of it which would make it really difficult for them to put concrete bags down there but uh the low tide today they should be totally fine and hopefully that will uh secure the bluff for the king tides that we're about to get it's supposed to be kind of crazy king tides because of the kelvin wave and there's already like really high tides in the morning the coming days i went back down check out brook street surfing sand and still the surfing boulders there's really no signs of sand coming back if there were any sand that came back it's now gone and uh waves are just exploding into the front of the houses at brook street and the front of the surf and sand and the waves aren't even that big and it seems like the waves that aren't that big pass the outer reefs and actually hit the walls harder so it's almost like the sneaky in-between set ones that are hitting the houses and the cliffside harder and uh yeah it's just gonna be really interesting to see what happens with these these higher tides like i think a big issue with what's going on right now is because the there's a Kelvin wave and some high tides waves are not breaking on those reefs that used to protect our coast a little bit and they're just passing the reefs because it's deep enough and then doubling up and hitting all the structures on the inside and there's no sand buffer no sand buffer so i don't know it's looking kind of dismal for town for the coming days especially yeah especially with those king tides yeah next week and usually in the summertime town has a lot of sand and then in the winter the sand gets pulled out but going into winter with already no sand is a little troubling yeah i keep thinking like oh we're gonna get a west wind or a winter swell and the opposite is happening it's you know almost november and there's nothing in the forecast but some south swell and uh really we just need wind like any wind from the west any wind from the northwest is gonna help oh the guys all right we'll take his call now wow look it almost looks like oh umbrella look at umbrella in that person's front yard broken glass this person's house got robbed bring us up to speed what just happened shay led us on to what looked like a water spout going through the San Clemente municipal golf course and uh yeah so we just came to check it out sure enough it does look like some some crazy tornado thing went through the golf course because there's like a line of trees that all got downed and then there's trees on the other on the other side of it that looked totally fine so look at this palm tree literally snapped in half that's insane what you can totally see the path yeah not your not your average like oh it was windy and there's a couple tree branches down on the golf course it looks like there's a pretty clear track of where this thing went through the golf course and tore up the trees and there's everything from like small trees that got torn up to to like what looked like healthy old trees uprooted from the ground just another weird thing that we happen to happen in our vicinity strange times yeah something every day it seems yeah i guess there was a power line that and it was downed over here as well. Seems like this little stretch right here, kind of downed by trestles, got hit by something. Maybe a water spout that made landfall or something crazy like that. That guy could have got picked up by the tornado. Holy moly. No one's safe. That's a prime tornado victim right there, dude. He's lucky to be on the ground with those four little legs. Four paws on the ground. South swells finest. Thank you, Jackie. One more? Yep. in that rainbow right now you'll catch up to it look at that what a dana point headland rainbow our first time checking out beach road in capo beach and this is probably the piece of coast that has lost the most properties in socal um there's like maybe six or seven red tagged houses so just completely gone and probably a lot a lot more yellow tagged houses in this zone but yeah even even just checking it out from the road you pretty much can see every other fifth house has some damage and then you also have houses that are just this is an example of probably a red-tagged house where they're just having to completely demo the whole thing dropping anchor dude that was a kind of scooter do you think those houses were built in um on beach road they're old they've been there for a really long time some of them i bet you probably the earliest ones were probably built in the 70s or 80s development on those houses began in 1925 and 1930s that means they're 100 years old some of them some of them might not have made it to their 100th birthday didn't hit that century mark i don't think so and there definitely used to be a bunch of beach on beach road there's a reason they call it a beach road a lot of there's a trend you got the surf and sand this is now the surf and boulder and the beach road is now it's definitely a rocky road that one look at the middle of the road right now the street right here look at that parking lot it's like i hope i close my windows one hell of an irrigation system from the car of his car that was that was pretty good i wasn't ripping earlier how does it feel to be nice and dry Blair for the whole time i just put 77 degrees in here that was a serious downpour didn't rain for long but streets were just flooded in like a matter of minutes the heaviest rain i've seen in California in a long time it was like a little cell of just downpour that's a sign of anything to come this winter we're in for it the famous Dana Point waterfall when it rains a ton in Dana Point this will happen water at one point came up and over this and was streaming down here you can see where the leaves and everything you can tell by the line of pores can well it smells kind of disgusting it looks like i think that stump over in the street that is where the water was like it was flooding over it pushed that out of here like at the peak of when it was raining really hard this thing must have been absolutely crazy i wish i saw it 20 minutes ago like when we were playing with Snoopy in the streets this thing was freaking Niagara Falls i've never seen it overflow it you can tell it went full overflow i've seen it when all of that road is underwater really this whole thing yeah because that that definitely happened a little bit ago yeah because you can see that where the water line was on the grass to the road pretty insane how flooded it was at one point green is just totally plugged up with debris you know where i'm coming next time there's a massive downpour straight to the Dana Point waterfall beautiful are you gonna get rid of the tree trunk four different attractions today checked out the band-aid on BCH that was pretty interesting because there was a lot of wind last night so the band-aid got pretty ripped off and the crack was showing again and there was definitely some action down there then we went to the surf and sand in Brook Street where waves were just smashing the hotel still waves were also exploding up onto the staircase at Brook Street then we went to a tornado spot for what we think might have been a tornado that tore through the San Clemente Municipal Golf Course because there's a bunch of downed trees and kind of like a clear path through the golf course where the where the downed trees are Shay Porter led us onto that one so thanks Shay the hotline the hotline for anything San Clemente and we went checked out the beach road houses where there's a bunch of red tagged houses that are no longer livable and waves have just completely smoked a good portion of that road and a good portion of the houses on that road and then we were on our way back home and it started nuking rain in Dana Point like probably some of the hardest I've ever seen it rain in California honestly it was just a supercell right over Dana Point that dumped a ton of rain in like a matter of 10 minutes and you would never know that it rained now like you look at the streets and it's like sunny and nice out but it was downpouring and you could see where the Dana Point waterfall started to overflow went and flooded the street right below it yeah that sums up the day I'm actioned out I'm taking a nap your hair's dry oh yeah we made it made it you came so prepared today rain jacket rain boots I had a premonition I was confused when you came out prepared because it said a 10% chance of rain today and for Dana Point we'll get back to you soon with more crack coverage yep back to the crack almost lost the waves are still pretty big right look at this crane right here that's the crane that was lifting the tractors off the beach trap bags those are things are huge and that's what they're putting the sand into boom get that calm down here they're putting beach where it belongs basically but just in ginormous sandbags and they're gonna prevent waves from washing up to the bottom of that cliff there and hopefully keep PCH standing for a little while but yeah it is a big operation i see why it costs four million dollars now there's probably probably a good 40 to 50 people working today all sorts of different organizations like 20 cars over there yeah yeah Caltrans you have the lifeguards you had the sheriffs it was a full operation pretty and fascinating watching the waves wash up and hit the tractors while they're working to to secure that bluff a lot of action a lot of action it looks like they moved a bunch of rocks and other things up to the base like pushed it up with tractors see that until they didn't get that far but oh they did they pushed up a lot of rocks over to it they basically built up a rock berm not the whole cliff though and look they didn't really fix the tarps tarps look at the tarps on the cliff this is crazy we've got sand coming to the base of the cliff they're putting sand down there in big plastic bags they're basically just big sandbags and uh it looks like they've probably put down like 12 of them today before the tide got too high and it looks like waves are already washing washing over the sandbags that they um placed but it kind of looks like it's it's helped this is an insane operation they're craning the tractors on and off the beach every day to place those sandbags and move around all the sand then they've got the crane the concrete crane that that I saw yesterday that I thought was going to be putting concrete down is actually just putting sand down into the bags, which is great. We're happy about the sand.
