Record High Sea Levels on The California Coast

here's the hole in the surfing sand oh you got it good oh my gosh yellow tagged house look at how much of the cliff has fallen right here that was a better one dude you don't want the big one i know it's kind of the waves are bigger than i thought they'd be oh my gosh pretty good palapa down there we're checking out the surfing sand with beast tv it's an hour after high tide and boulders and stuff are still exploding up into the pool over here at this little hotel yeah it looks like there might be some new cracked glass on the front of it so we're just gonna sit and watch for a little bit there's some waves just going nuclear onto the onto the front of this hotel right now we're live at the surfing sand look at this look at this i think there might be more shattered glass this one's really bad wow what is that thing whole surfboard out there boulders that are blowing up over the glass oh boy this one's bad well you weren't wrong about that that was almost to the third story i think looks like someone's moving out of their house too many waves hitting their front door it's not looking much better over here at the Surfin Sand really was hoping there'd be more sand in front of here by now but i think this wall just keeps on keeps on making the waves scour the any sand or any boulders that they wash up to it oh my gosh that thing was nuts hold up we just watched a crazy one explode that was a big one no you got it good you got it good or it's a bog town bog town bogging apart that one the agate stairs look like they're holding on by a thread let's see what we got we found someone's broken surfboard out there i'd love to know the story of how that thing got so beaten and battered i bet you someone lost it into the rocks the other day and it just got demolished in the rocks blow tiger some sand in the cave a new development the montage might have a ramp problem whoa oh yeah looks like that whole part of the bottom ramp is getting undermined the montage has a crack and it's the one in beef's bald head no just kidding they actually have something going on over here check this out the cliff has fallen right here and that's a lot wow they've got a project ahead of them see what this little set does down here keep in mind it's like two hours after high tide waves are still getting pretty close to the base of that thing the beach is washing up so far it's covering the covering the sign here look at how much sand is here this is that Gulf Island beach i was talking about earlier you can see where parts of the railing are getting all wonky these guys are doing a tarp tarp job everyone's getting ready for the king tide i don't think that's gonna do much you get waves washing up over this wall but they might be lucky in that swell's supposed to die during the king tide new tracks charging it look at all this concrete down here you got a snorkeler and a little harbor seal cruising where'd that guy go oh he's getting up on the rock come on buddy you got it, West Street, the growing cave I think uh there's definitely a fair amount of new new rock that has shed off that cave man there's some sand here pretty much never go go down to this beach because there's not really a rideable wave but figured i'd come check it out and just see what the sand's doing looks like there's an interesting part of the cliff over here that might have shed recently probably not related to high tide but definitely fresh rock that just fell from up above it's crazy how some beaches are just completely gone and then others have have all the sand i think this used to be like a at least six foot high sign freshly shed rock that's pretty fresh probably happened in the last day or two fell down from up there i'm gonna bet you this rock probably falls this winter things looking a little sketch kind of insane that it's actually still standing looks super top heavy to me yeah this thing's gonna go what's up more beach coming to El Morro awesome insane it just got rained on pretty good we're back down here at the El Morro crack and we're here at a peak low tide on the 22nd of october and we're gonna come check it out tomorrow morning when it's a super high tide i think we have like a six foot high tide um tomorrow morning and then you incorporate the Kelvin wave into that and it's probably going to be closer to a seven foot high tide in the coming week like monday tuesday we have like 6.6 foot high tides and with the kelvin wave on top of that it'll probably be the highest tides that i've ever seen in my life so that'll be interesting to see how the beaches hold up with high tides like that how the beaches and the cliffs hold up with high tides like that these guys are kind of in a race against time to put these sandbags in front of the Elmo cliff and they're doing a pretty amazing job they have quite a system going over there where they're taking sand putting it down a conveyor belt and then moving it into those trap bags which they're going to just build basically a big barrier from the ocean to protect that bluff over there and uh yeah I think it's going to be really fascinating to see how it holds up on these these massive tides that we're expected to have in the next next few days but all in all i think caltrans is doing an amazing job of of trying to secure this thing as best they can in the in the situation that they're given and it's a bummer that this didn't happen a little sooner and could have been prevented maybe a little bit easier but yeah they're doing the best they can dang i want to see the sand uh the sand siphon pretty cool we have a fossilized shell look down and i thought it was a rock but pretty certain that is a fully beautiful fossilized shell score these are the things we do to give you the El Morro report oh yeah it's definitely not clean water it's definitely rain water it looks like at low tide you can actually walk the beach over here pretty well looks a little precarious precarious look at these stairs not much holding that up like down here at low tide it's like there's a little break in the sets we're gonna charge it over there could be sketchy bars sticking out here's the hole in the servant sand little house in there it's interesting it looks like it's built on built on like natural rock it's like they're trying to do some last minute make a barrier of some sort we're stairs over here those were definitely stairs at one point pretty cool to be here at low tide right standing on this wall that had waves exploding over it and up to like the second and third story of that building this morning so i would have died standing here this morning here's that same beach that we shot this morning but on low tide pretty pretty nice and calm on the low tide so it's a five foot high tide right now and in a couple days it's gonna be a six six it's pretty hard to imagine we're down at the crack at peak high tide it's supposed to be like a 5.6 or 5.3 high tide this morning and it's definitely more like a six with the Kelvin wave and all so waves are definitely washing up and hitting the base of their tarp job and it looks like they're even washing over those big sandbags the trap bags that they put down there yeah it's just an extremely high tide with this Kelvin wave looks like there's a lot of muddy water which is a sign of new cliff being eroded and waves definitely washing up into that thing yeah it's going to be pretty interesting to see what happens on monday tuesday when we have a six foot high tide with another additional foot of water because of the Kelvin wave so seven and a half foot high tide maybe could be the highest tide that I've ever seen in my life and I don't even think we're gonna need waves for that to impact this bluff over here I mean even if there's just ocean water sloshing back and forth into the cliff side could be pretty crazy pretty insane to just see the ocean completely flowing over those trap bags I kind of thought that those would be high enough to actually block waves from going into the cliff and I and I think it will do that when they have them completely laid out around the base but it'll probably act as like a little bit of a outer reef that'll make the waves break before they wash up and hit the cliff but right now it just looks like the waves are washing over it and still almost getting up to the cliff so they've got a lot more trap bags to lay too they're like one tenth of the way there they might not be able to get these things completely put down before the king tides on Monday and Tuesday I haven't been down to St Ann's and a lot of railings came completely unclogged both of them on both sides i've never seen that that's wild at least we know the lifeguard stand's not going anywhere i don't know what those are from they might have just been covered in sand this whole time they might have been here for a really long time but covered in sand so you couldn't see them and now they're exposed i don't know rebar coming out here you know there's only like 20 blimps in the world that are operational i saw it last night too yeah i feel like it's been getting some action every day i've been seeing it a bunch i think there are so few because it's so expensive i think they run on helium and so it's like super expensive to actually use them still getting wash ups on the dropping tides yeah we're like two hours past high tide now novelties vermic seems to be working sperm seems to be working pretty damn well actually
