CBS 8 drone captures high surf, huge waves at Windansea Beach in La Jolla

A high-surf and a coastal flood advisory will be in effect Friday through Monday at San Diego County beaches, with large breaking waves up to 12 feet and some expected minor flooding, forecasters said.

Advisories
Both advisories will be in effect until 2 a.m. Monday and include warnings of dangerous swimming and surfing conditions, beach erosion and minor tidal overflow during morning high tides at low-lying coastal areas such as beach parking lots and walkways.

On Friday morning, the Coronado Police Department closed the boardwalk behind Hotel Del Coronado at 1500 Orange Ave. for an undetermined amount of time due to high tides. The San Diego Fire Department on Friday also closed Mission Bay Channel due to high surf until Monday, advising boaters the alternate option is San Diego Bay. SDFD added that San Diego lifeguards will be periodically advising boaters on surf conditions via VHF channel 16.

Looks pretty mellow for this surfing spot.

Is it happening so soon already? The stuff the environmental scientists were talking about?
A small tsunami in Ventura county (west coast California) and the next day I believe, high turf in La Jolla, San Diego, (west coast California)! And earthquakes in Japan. I hope it’s a fluke. I’m not ready to lose shore line in my beautiful California 😢 Ojalá no! 🤞
I’m in-between that, directly 14 miles and 25-27 minutes away from the shoreline.
A tsunami could reach my house, I think.

Needs SOUND of waves breaking, rushing, crashing,…etc..
Sad, to have this sense taken away from nature…

Man we’re going to lose so much sand on the shoreline from this.
