[@SilverShadow2LWB]

We had about a dozen rescues down in Oxnard area. Idiots are not listening to the warnings. Some surfer don't know their lack of talent. One may be pretty good on smaller waves, but one needs to practice on large waves. They keep playing the same video from the end of Seaward Ave where people are running from the waves in street clothes. The same people who were warned not to get close to the beach. They end up running in fear. Good thing they got their pants wet with salt water so people don't recognize that it was pee.

@@manuela9671 I had a bad experience in the Monterey Bay (Central CA) back in the mid 50's....got caught in a rip tide and then carried way out. I was young, not that great of a swimmer and I was on a large truck innertube with about a dozen patches already on it and even then, it still had a slow leak. I was sucked into some really large breaking waves, really got hammered, hanging onto my leaking tube for dear life, and, at some point, found a sand bar and was able to scramble back into shore...and, I've never been back. Now, I ride motorcycles, as I consider it to be much safer! Right now, from my house at about 1100', I have an excellent view of the sunset over the ocean about a mile away, and frankly, that's as about as close as I want to get. However, I do enjoy watching the sun set over the ocean, always on the outlook for that ever allusive 'green flash'. If you do not know what that is, look it up, as it momentarily can be the most intense green you will ever see.....but then, green just happens to be my favorite color.....which, and I have HONESTLY never made this connection before....is the same color as American money!

They lie about the fires too. They used to be scary bad when I was a kid where I live and there is still just as much foresty-desert wilderness now as there was then. Media and Pop Culture always praying on next generations in cycles with the trendy BS as usual. I'm deeply ashamed of older people not noticing weather patterns. Throughout my adult life I'd been able to predict the Fall rain season by roughly a week. Only hand fill of years did it not rain within a week+\- of October 15th.

The beach was busy but not overly so , everyone was enjoying themselves, when suddenly a wave came through that was more powerful than the others. This wave went almost virtually right up the entire beach, taking out everything and everyone. Then as quickly as it came it was gone just as fast and the sea was calm once again , the same cannot be said of the chaos on the beach. Whenever I go the beach I don’t park my stuff near the water for that very reason also I have spent some months sailing in the Pacific in 85 and believe me the sea is a living beast .

King tides happen when the moon is unusually close to Earth coincident with a high, high tide. The high tides peak twice a month (known as flood tides), but not usually when the moon is at closest approach. When everything aligns, the tide is maximum. On top of that, there is a periodicity of a few minutes in the surf as swells from different difections come into and out of phase.

So again, the big surf this past week is nothing unusual.

[@rambultruesdell3412]

Rogue wave 🌊, straight awesome. experienced in 1993 Humboldt Bay, north jetti 😮

[@stevegonzales527]

[@Infamous41]

It's California

[@colbylloyd8749]

People really push the limit on how close they can get to the ocean, ive seen some house right where the wave breaks.

[@reginayfavors]

I get heart palpitations when I see water rising.

[@daidavies6210]

I get wet when i see water rising 😂😂😂😂😂😂.

[@boxfox2945]

Don't look in the tiolet'

[@optimisticcosmic]

It's called Flight or Fight. When your brain senses danger your body releases adrenaline to provide more energy to run away or fight. Heart beats faster, blood pressure increases.

[@reginayfavors]

@@optimisticcosmic Beautiful. Thank you. It's strange how you can feel that just watching a video too. Have a great one.

[@loveisthemostpowerfulforce1397]

Sometimes that doesn't work correctly like in some people with abnormally high anxiety.@@optimisticcosmic

[@freedomforever6718]

"Protective glass"? Lol.

[@craigieplaysstuff]

When winds are offshore, that's when you go surfing, not onshore or crosshore for like obvious reasons

[@Alex-nc1hv]

[@boxfox2945]

Riding' the big'one.😂

[@sashapillai7430]

Respect the POWER of Mother Nature.

[@texleeger8973]

Build a house at essentially zero elevation, expect a visit from Poseiden. And as sea level rises, his raging visits will be sooner than later. And often

[@edwardsmith1060]

Super scary ! Thanks for protecting us, from surf...at the beach.

[@chafouaube985]

Do you believe now that no one and i mean no one can't beat the Nature????

[@coreym162]

Be the first to practice that philosophy and part with every creature comfort in your life then? You're clueless...

[@bethdavis6863]

Man did not create nature, and he will never be able to control it.

[@tomhman6441]

High surf warnings ? What do they think will happen?

[@daidavies6210]

I’m surprised they haven’t Blamed Trump…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@brianmcnellis5512]

I rode that wave on my longboard.

[@scottrandall1546]

And this folks is why I live in Michigan. No hurricanes, small if any tornado's, no flooding, lakes that look just like the ocean but a lot less salty. Yeah we get an occasional ice storm that knocks power out, but that is what generators are for.

[@JRLOC]

Yeah but it’s Michigan. 🥴

[@scottrandall1546]

@@JRLOC What a brilliant reply.

[@heatherc.5760]

Wat is crazy since i have been a kid i remember ppl saying one day California will be underwater one day break off n become their own island n with natural disasters getting more n more dangerous its scary.

[@sharongoodsell9341]

We don't OWN the ocean people The water is rising YAH

[@coreym162]

Pictures won't agree with you.

[@iAncientOne]

I just stayed at that hotel in September. What a shame.

[@danielwatson3273]

Maybe it'll wash all the shit away including Newsom

[@longhair5860]

Can't put my finger on it but there is something about those big bodys of water.With the wind and rain. Living 2 feet from the Ocean. When you see these people on the news saying,I don't know what happened. My house was here yesterday.
