Thanks for the video; my Mom lived in Crescent City for over 20 years. I loved driving on Pebble Beach Drive.

[@cocacolafiesta]

So beautiful! I grew up near Monterey but I have never been one to walk the beaches but I like to park and watch the waves and these are awesome! I don’t have to out in the cold to see them, lol! Thank you so much for sharing!

My bro Richard lives in Gasquet and has been keeping me up on the weather down there, particularly in Crescent City. It’s wild! And that’s coming from someone who lives on the Olympic Peninsula! Great video!

Amazing Nature... 💪🤙

[@jeffvw1994]

I talked to a pilot on a Crescent City beach by the airport right after a storm and he was saying he could see the driftwood coming out of the klamath river and a line of driftwood going north right onto our beaches. We get the powerful south winds, (so it's blowing from the south) during the storms and up to 60 mpg gust. Total victory at sea out there and not a time to be offshore on a boat.

[@gasquetmike8320]

That would be cool to see!!!! I remember in the 64 flood the wood brought a Bull up from klamath, it was alive, capt courageous I think?

[@eileendunn2130]

Most excellent! Thanks. Happy Holidays, @GasquetMike!

[@sieglindesmith9092]

So well done! Not the constant pivoting.

[@normadavidson-mm3ux]

🌊🌊🌊🌊 It's been years since I've seen that much white water. The ocean was very angry, I hope there were no crab boats out. I thought you might loose a drone the waves were crashing so high. The jetty area was crazy and some of those rocks were hammered. WOW 😳 🌊🌊🌊🌊 Wonder where the seals were? Have a Merry Christmas hug Stoney ❤

[@roxieearly9484]

The seafloor is very active lots of tremors lots of earthquake, and under Sea volcanic activity is creating a turbulent ocean along with high tide you get big waves, and unfortunately, the heating of the oceans is changing our weather making it more intense if you could see the graph the current Reading of the water temperature on earth in every place you would be amazed🤯

Did for yesterday there was so much wood that had not only washed up on the beach but across the road I’m not seen that before when I was down there the night before and it wasn’t like that

[@growell8832]

I worked up at Crescent City for a few months in the winter of 1990 and would drive over to the beach after work and watch the waves crash over the rocks for hours until the sun went down or the fog rolled in, the surf is mesmerizing.

I love the lighthouse and would love to live there. I was in Crescent City in the 90's and tried fishing off the jetty. It felt weird being out there among the tetrapods and the strange sounds of the water. I also bought the book 'Dark Disaster' about the 1964 tsunami.

[@gasquetmike8320]

I walk the jetty often. I love it out there! Just dont go if theres any chance of a wave going over! Calm days, dry jetty

[@paulhalvorseth4465]

Great job! Always wondered why not even ice plant grew on Round Rock, now I know, lol. I suppose buoy 1 and 2 are going to be in a different location when this dies down. I think it was in Dec 2019 a 75 foot wave hit the Cape Mendocino buoy, Scripps OI says that was the record. Before radio buoys...I wonder if the old Lightkeepers on Pt St George would agree...since the light was broken by waves 150 feet above mean sea level in 1952.

[@gasquetmike8320]

Thank you!!! ahhh to get a video of that!!!
