- Residents and beachgoers are being warned about the dangers of a massive swell that is pounding the Southern California coastline Thursday and will continue to peak into the weekend.
The high surf and flooding dangers are of particular concern in Ventura County and at Hermosa, Manhattan and Palos Verdes beaches in Los Angeles County, according to the National Weather Service.
Waves of 10 to 15 feet with sets to 20 feet are expected along the Ventura County coast. A high surf warning and coastal flood warning are in effect from 4 a.m. Thursday to 10 p.m. Saturday. “Most dangerous conditions are expected later today (Thursday),” KTLA’s Omar Lewis said.
KTLA's Sandra Mitchell, Rachel Menitoff and Vera Jimenez report on Dec. 28, 2023.

Laguna residents mad at the City need to get a reality check. One buys on the beach the ocean poses risk to property. Big waves happen.
They're going to want sand dunes and then want the city to remove it too when it obstructs their views...
But because we did that means we are special that we weren't special laws and we weren't special rules and we weren't special things
Hello, are you saved by Jesus, yet?
#EXACTLY why would you build your property RIGHT ON THE BEACH... that never made sense in the first place... why would they even allow it, goes against all logic... not to say that i do not feel for the ppl that were affected, hope everyone is safe
Absolutely......this situation no amount of government work or laws is going to hold back the tides of times......and what good fo warnings do when we have idiots who want to push the envelope go and do their things putting rescue teams at risk
What’s the city supposed to do? Stop the waves? Solution: Don’t build your homes so close to the water. 🐟
Poor rich people
Stop eating meat and driving cars, to prevent rogue waves.

What about those who live where hurricanes occur every year?
Don’t want to be flooded, don’t build on the flood plain or coast. Nature likes to refurbish the shore.
Exactly 💯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Dang. Humans can't live in the mountains and forests or on the coast. Where should people live?
Even if we stay inland, we're in earthquake country. WeLl MaYbE yOu ShOuLd'T LiVe ThErE.
How about Hurricane country or tornado country? Or where it snows and the power and gas go out?
Here comes the 15m cities you’ll own nothing and be happy AND eat Z bugs 🐛
Yea, i remember seeing people that had a trailer in florida keys that had been waiting for "someone" to help get them a new trailer. I thought, i cant afford a vacation to the Keys, why should I pay to replace YOUR stuff?🤔🤔🤔🤔
Oceanfront property is gorgeous but comes with a risk.
Insurance rates will increase for all. And soon no insurance for high risk areas...
@vitravaah2527 Some of these California cities/counties pay additional taxes, so that's probably why they are looking for assistance.
Surfer who lives north of Ventura in Santa Cruz. We’ve has 20 ft waves here. I’ve seen and heard so many sirens at our beaches having to rescue even experienced surfers, some of which I know. Not only are those waves unpredictable, the waters are dirty caused by runoff from the storms we’ve been having. The best way to wave watch is from higher ground using binoculars. You can never tell how far away is safe enough.
Thanks! Some one with q brain..
I’m watching this from the moon 👽
Thank you KTLA for this long and informative video. Prayers for anyone suffering with this
Are upi aware that praying is a complete waste of time?
This isn't the first time this has went on and won't be the last. You live on the shore so?
Put down the Cell Phone and get a Surf board..Once in a life time Waves..
Shred the gnar 🤙
Once a season, soon.
Okay point break lol
@@pandorasbox7152 Catching some waves, It was a good Movie for sure..RIP Patrick Swayze..
Brah 🤣🤣🤣👍
I believe these are going to continue
So, people choose to live right there, this happened and is the city’s fault?
So exactly what caused these big waves? Is there a weather system to blame? The news nailing it again.🙄
I was seeing the waves today, the waves are dangerously high. They may be exaggerating a bit, but this isn’t a joke.
The cause had to be either Climate Change or Trump!🤣
@@ralphcrist3105ikr??🙄

From Japan 6.7 earthquakes. USG didn’t report or warning .
Yes there was a warning for days.
December has been the biggest waves for years…
Thank you for your coverage of the California coastline! I hope everyone stays safe and thank you for the great coverage. ❤
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ironic that Jamie from Canada stated, that people should not have been walking, "fir sure" risked her life over a freaking sandal.
The only fear and danger seen during this high surf flooding is which group of homes have now plunged in value due to potential flooding. This is not the end of any future high surf, or rogue waves. Flood insurance will be nearly impossible to obtain once the homes have come perilously close to water damage. Might be time to move inland about a quarter of a mile if you are in this low lying area.
I can go down to the seawall here in DepoeBay, on the central Oregon coast, and watch just as large of swells crash onto shore. We get king tides every month during the full moon.
If the guy in Ventura never seen waves like that he hasn't lived there long. The Ventura pier was wiped out not long after it was revamped years ago by monster waves. 450 ft of the pier was permanently lost and never rebuilt. The area in front of the fair grounds was destroyed and had to be rebuilt and fortified to protect the fairgrounds. I've seen water spouts close to the shore and Ventura is at risk of tsunamis every time there is an earthquake. I've also witnessed floods come the other direction as well from the Ventura river which knocked out main street bridge once and several times it overflowed its banks and flooded emma wood and surrounding areas including putting the 101 under water. Same with the Santa Clara river (famous for the St. Francis Dam disaster) One such flood on that river took my car out to sea never to be seen again. Ventura gets it all, floods, fires and earth quakes.
@INYOURHEAD 1995 was nearly 30 years ago bud. Just sayin'
@@richardh8082 Grow up.
That was back in 1995. Been a few years. My mom is from Ojai and went to Ventura High since Nordoff wasn’t built yet. I’ve seen it all! This area is in a different area than the pier. These waves are not normal- and you know it!
Hello, are you saved by Jesus, yet?
@@Br.Kevin1 LOL! Where did that come from? I would never ask you if you’re going to hell. Same question to my mind
Said it before and I will say it again, if you build next to the ocean, the ocean will eventually reclaim that land! It should be federal policy that all land within a 1/4 mile of the ocean should be a federal park!
I wouldn’t surf there at all. I don’t have anything to prove to anyone.
I'm from Ventura and I traveled Seaward many times and I had never seen such waves and flooding like this. Prayers for all and stay safe
this is legit crazy. i grew up going to all of these beaches and never have seen this
This has happened before in Huntington Beach and Newport. It's not new lol
I guess it depends on the beach. I’ve seen this back to late 50s. Aliso Creek pier was destroyed several years ago. Totally gone. Laguna Beach has had water up past PCH going into the shops.
@@c.s.440 It's new to Ventura. I live a few blocks from where the video in Ventura was taken. We've had our pier partially destroyed many times but never has a huge wave traveled down Seaward all the way to Pierpont Blvd. At least in the 46 years I've been alive.
You didn't see da bomb cyclone last year ?
Whoa, narley dude😮
1988 in Southern California
Interesting how this happened three days before the huge earthquake in Japan. I wonder if there is a correlation.
True
Unfortunately, news people typically know little about the ocean, waves, ocean dynamics, etc. That was not a "rogue" wave, one of the favorite go-to words for the media. It was just perhaps the biggest wave of a day of huge waves. A huge wave can encounter the backwash of a previous wave and not go over a seawall, and another smaller wave can "double up" with another wave and hit just right to cause this kind of situation. The wave did not "come out of nowhere." The surf was huge up and down the coast, and biggest in Ventura.
thats pretty radical 😨
No cap, it is pretty rad. Ngl
The Bible end times speaks about the ocean raging, like diverse earthquakes happening too. It's scary
There was a sighting, Johnny Utah and Bodhi surfing at the peak of the storm.
Never heard of them. Are they kooks from Hawaii?
Is there a storm out in the Pacific Ocean?
Intense jet stream due to El Nino year. But yes, there's about 3 low pressure systems off the coast that are making its way towards west coast. But the main culprit is an intense wind pushing sea surface waves. This was forecasted. The rogue waves were in the forecast from NOAA. This shouldn't be a surprise.
On the West Coast, the prevailing winds are behind the waves, which increases the waves' energy. Add to that, low-pressure storm systems in the PNW, and this is what you've got.
I was raised on Hammonds Reef and Rincon near Santa Barbara. Surfed these areas for 20+ years. It is NOT the large waves that wash the sea water up on those roads. But mostly a HIGH TIDE at the same time there is large waves
Rincon is well South of SB but get your point. I used to live Off The Avenue
rinco
Rincon,PR. ?
@@Ohnyet No
They're trying to act as if this is a once in a lifetime thing it happens every 30 years at least
@@user-lp1jw9bo5y I don’t think it happens over in Pierpont every 30 years. More like the North end by Rincon and the fairgrounds
Why do homeowners believe its the city's taxpayer's) responsibility to protect their property? Further, no one can protect waterfront properties from the effects of climate change like massive waves, erosion, storms, and more. The most logical action to minimize erosion is to plant at least a 20' deep buffer from the high tide water line; the buffer should be a diverse group of native trees & other flora that existed before the land was grazed.
Right? They chose the location
Hilarious, folks want everything “the way it was before” but in reality they wouldn’t make it a day without all their conveniences
When i was young, I have seen waves like these...Huge!
They're trying to act as if this is a once in a lifetime thing it happens every 30 years at least
Cut the back lawn yesterday and will cut the front lawn later today, weather is pretty decent here at the moment in Essex UK, although weather is rough in Scotland which is only a couple of hundred miles away. I hope your weather gets back to normal soon.
El Nino year. The jet stream has picked up so that means it'll increase wave size and activity for west coast.
I love laguna beach ca when i used in anahiem ca i would go to beach at night especially duringvthe full moon its peaceful
Its not peaceful now
It's just amazing that a house gets flooded 50 feet from an ocean .
Funny how people want to blame there governments for not stepping in and helping out but what about the idiots who built said properties and the idiots who chose to live on them...why isn't anyone talking about that ?????
Ha! Exactly! Very well said
Some of these California cities/counties pay additional taxes, so that's probably why they are looking for assistance.
*their
Do you know how you build a beach front property? First, you obtain a building permit FROM THE CITY. Which means that the local gov't has decided that it's safe to build there. So stop trying to blame the victims -- it's childish.
Homeowners need to protect their own property. Expecting other's to care about their property more than they do themselves does not make sense. Pay a company to build the protective walls for them.
Wow, so much power. Shocking !!
What is causing this storm surge?
Why is the City expected to protect people's ocean front property?
I was there when the End Cafe fell off the HB pier in the late 80's in high surf common 20,30-year thing.
Maybe I missed this part of the news..but what event caused this? It must have been some seismic event...
And don't forget to pay your property taxes because the state provides really good services to protect you all.
Water will not sit petite because most cities in California have refused to do preventive maintenance and/or required corrective maintenance on any cities infrastructures
Worse things going to happens more and more.
😊 how beautiful i love it, going to the beach tomorrow 😄
Whoa, narley gramny
@@imagineme6406 I didn't go but I sure 😄 want it to go, 😭
Is there a specific reason the high surf is happening now? Why it it effecting the SW CA coast?
WOW!
I grew up frolicking in the oceans here in California. I know how dangerous the waves can be. Please respect the ocean
Government vs nature. The winner is obvious. Those people living next to the ocean assumed the risk.
I personally have no problem believing the weather person. If they say it will rain it usually does. Why they are forced to stand in the weather while reporting on it is beyond me.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO HAPPEN..DUH🤨
This happens a lot when you live at sea level.
“Just moments ago people were running”……and now they line the beach just waiting for the next one….🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Wow that's my favorite hotel to stay in when I visit Ventura Beach is inn on the beach motel
I lived in Long Beach for years, you just get use to the high surfs.
Imagine a real tsunami .......Nobody is prepared
This is one of the many reasons why I love So. Calif.
I built my home next to the ocean and it had the nerve to come into my living room!! Now I want the city to fix it!!
We need to restore the dunes. Dune on Ventura-Oxnard-Port Hueneme beaches were part of the natural beach morphology. We leveled them off for a view of the ocean. Go to Ventura beaches and see for yourself how well the dunes in some sectors hold up the wave swash from entering streets and homes. Go to Seaward Ave and look how well the dunes right and left of Seaward hold
God bless all
warmer oceans, expand to higher volume, less dense water,... contributes to bigger waves ?
It did this back in the 60's when I lived there. Costal plane what do you expect?
I love the ocean but I don’t need to live right in the edge of it. SMDH.
So what’s causing it? Is there a storm out there or something
Full moon.
El niño
Saw it in Torrance
does anybody know why the waves are so big? Does it have anything to do with the earthquake in Japan?
You need something under the water to stop the wave is getting so big
I was wondering if there was an undersea earth quake.
Happen in Japan
Wow this is like totally Awsome 😮😮
BE AFRAID!
FEAR GOD! He is coming soon, with a vengeance!
Umm hello the waves were as high as a two story building wth can the city do to protect your Beach homes???? Folks I'm sorry for the suffered damage but let's practice reasonable thought please. They cannot stop 15 to 40 ft waves from crashing into your home.,
I hope Charlie Harper and the rest are staying safe in Malibu.
All Beaches are closed all weekend
Waves are as high as 5 - 50 ft in some of the beaches
That is 1 angry ocean. Once again it's happening 1 year ago happened at this time
Gathering to see a dangerous weather phenomenum? Candidates for the Darwin Awards
Cowabunga dude! Big Wednesday! 😁
The ocean sometime needs to stretch, we keep building too close from the ocean..
Sometimes I just feel like a pelican when I'm out there. Hey bro, do you have any wax?
5:01 boo hoo millionaires sad 'the city' isnt doing enough to protect their ocean front homes
Whoa, narley dude😮
Oh my, big waves, has this ever happened before, the sky is falling right, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my
It happened in new Jersey last week. Doesn't look good for shoreline residents.
what a difference between the East coast beach and the west coast beach.
I was born and raised in Ventura😮
Hamburg is fully flooded, and their windows are holding....
Waves in Hawaii are always like this
What causing this high tide very strange
Don’t feel bad for home owners . Sorry ! You chose to live on a beach , you are accepting all the risks that comes with it . How a city government supposed to stop the ocean ?!
They seams happy
Hello the City protects your home???
Gee I wonder if what’s going on with the Sun and the geomagnetic storms have anything to do with it
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the wealthy homeowners responsibility to do what's necessary to protect their property?
Was there an unreported off shore earthquake??
Somebody there at Seaward in Ventura quietly said......."I triple-dog dare you" to sweep us to our deaths!! Lol.....also "the homeowners are very upset and very concerned"...?? Wait until insurance companies drop your policies and you have to move out of homes that are untenable and can't be sold.
What's the problem
Glory be to God! He passes judgment on the wicked!
Wow I get people want to test their skills but they need to stay away, they are not just risking their lives. They are risking the lives of the people going with them and the life guards that may have to go after them.
We’re ok in Venice beach and Santa Monica California 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Are these from the Earthquake in Japan? Is it tsunami
