High Surf Battering Much Of Southern California Coastlines

Rick Montanez reports from Malibu where higher than usual tides and surf roll into Southern California beaches, eroding some roads and creating dangerous rip currents.

Because it is the beginning of the end. Pay attention to the Sun and Moon. Things are a bit off if you paid attention to the sky growing up. What you observe with your own eyes is what they can not manipulate you into thinking otherwise. This "new normal" is and will be anything but normal. Now the real question is what was the past 18 months truly all about. It was a live social engineering experiment in preparation for something in the near future. Humanity panicked the entire time. If the government knew of anything that was going to happen it is now obvious that they could not tell the US Population because those that panick only make a bad situation even worse. Think scuba diving. If your deep in water and a buddy begins to panick and lose it, you have to get away from him/her or you will be as good as dead too. What is the real agenda and what was all of this in preparation for is what everyone should be thinking. The answer has to be out there. Someone must know but won't share it because honestly, ethics, and integrity no longer exist in a world fueled by greed and arrogance. Best of luck to you no matter what happens in the coming future.

I am a coastal engineer, I work on coastal protection waterfront construction, port and maritime facilities construction. Buildings on the beach such as these ones actually increases erosion on that beach. it modifies the natural cycle of sediment transport. the state of California should update its zoning laws with a new public maritime domain where construction of any kind should be prohibited, and impose an environmental impact assessment on any investment near the coast before permitting construction.

It's California, environmental impact assessments cause cancer.

Well that should be the case for any coastal state. I just moved from the coast of Florida to inland California. There's essentially no coastline left in Florida that you can see because of alllll the condos and hotels on A1A.

[@Haythem93465]

@@OhanaLulu Yes I was in Florida once and I noticed that. You know that the state of FL spends millions of dollars on beach refurbishment projects just so new condos and private investments can be built on that coast. To make matters worse, alot of really eroded shorelines there are in dire need for refurbishment/ coastal protection solutions but they stay untouched just because they don't present economic benefit like the coast of Miami or fort lauderdale. In other words, deciding on whether a beach maintenance project is done or not is almost solely based on how much money it will make in the future.

Building directly on the beach causes more erosion to the beach….and the sand doesn’t get replenished normally.
