The wider storm
An extremely large swell, combined with high astronomical tides, produced heavy surf and flooding of coastal areas along Central and Southern California. North of Point Conception, surf heights ranged between 20 and 28 feet and produced severe beach erosion. South of Point Conception, surf heights ranged between 12 and 20 feet. Along the Ventura county coast, the high seas produced flooding along Emma Wood and Faria beaches and flooded sections of Highway 1. In Long Beach, the high seas destroyed a pier at the West Coast Long Beach Hotel.
