These waves are not very large. However the houses are built very close to the breaker line without any serious sea wall. They are incredibly vulnerable. I am amazed that people were even PERMITTED to build in such a location. Presumably no insurance company would touch them.

Dana Point has a history of experiencing very large waves. Those so inclined can research history and find the location was also known as "Killer Dana"before the creation of the harbor. It's name was coined because of extremely large waves that would periodically arrive there. The waves shown in the video are not large at all by historical standards. I suspect the above average swell height combined with a higher than normal tide. The narrator's commentary demonstrates how little he understands of the ocean he is standing next to.

But then I am a very practical person and try to always have a plan B in case plan A doesn't fill the need.

And then the wife going over to help save a neighbor's potted plant right at the height of the wave's crests? Water in any mass amount can wipe you out of everything...and flood water cannot be controlled, only influenced and encouraged to go where you want it to go. And there is only so much you can do to achIeve the containment...so plan ahead and be ready with a protective plan B in case of water flooding.

These people are the most unbothered, relaxed, people ever. Waves crashing onto their deck, almost reaching the house, destroying the deck and he’s like “woo hoo!” I’m very confused.

[@meangene98]

It’s so weird that the waves kept coming.

[@AGAPE0612]

right

[@raypitts4880]

also high tide adds to it.

[@anthonyahola722]

So satisfying to watch!

[@richardgreen7225]

A major storm can raise sea levels by several meters. Your beach house might best be on stilts -- even then, it needs deep roots to avoid being washed away.

[@lucyterrier7905]

Never undestimate what water can do. Incredible power.

[@kidsproblemsolving493]

This is crazy... you guys are really strong man. How are you so calm? Hope everything is fine after the storm.

Rising sea levels. King tides. Converging storm systems . Sand dunes are there for a reason...to replenish the beach naturally during high tidal storms. 🌊🌬

Wow! This is exactly why I would never....EVER buy a beach house so close to a hungry ocean.

exactly I'm in Michigan and Lake MI has taken MANY MANY homes from the coast ( Lake Michigan ) noone but noone builds on the coast here and the. homes still standing have planted dune grass beach grasses built solid sea walks and anchored then down deep. thats on a Lake a big lake indeed but not an ocean.. Im not sure how people can possibly think it won't happen there. it's not if it's when type of thing for sure.

I don't know what the end result was now nearly a year and a half later but I hope all is well. I am sorry for your experience watching this unfold. Your optimism and reaction was inspiring. What can you do in this situation? Panic, freak out? Curse like a sailor? Run around frantically....None of those things would do any good. The people commenting on this are mean, judgemental and inconsiderate. This may have only happened once. Clearly you were not the only people on the beach in houses. Maybe just haters that wish they had a house on the ocean.

[@stormbringer78]

I think it's awesome when the ocean takes out a beachfront house....

[@markrichards6863]

Well, not if anyone is hurt, but it's hard to feel much sympathy for people that buy oceanfront property. They had to know this would eventually happen.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

I live on the coast. I know it's tempting to have a house right there on the beach but any house that is less than 25 feet above the record tidal surge for their area is vulnerable to this sort of erosion. I live 42 feet above the record tidal surge for my area, 33 feet above the record tidal surge for my state and 8 feet above the record tidal surge for the region. That's at grade. My living room floor is another 18 inches above that. I can walk down to the beach in under 10 minutes any time I want to but I am nice and safely away from the water, 3 blocks away. The houses in my neighborhood are well over 100 years old though mine is made of concrete.

Most days, the ocean is very serene and peaceful.....but every once in a while, the ocean has so much energy, from thousands of miles away that there is little one can do. IT does help to understand this ...and be prepared.
