Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.
The wider storm
A cold-core cutoff low pressure system off the coast of Southern California brought heavy rain to Orange County and waterspouts to the San Diego County coast. A band of convection just off the coast of San Diego and Orange Counties produced a line of at least 8 waterspouts and countless more funnel clouds in the span of about an hour. Several of these waterspouts occurred simultaneously within close proximity to each other. One waterspout came ashore at Cardiff State Beach and blew over some tents. Another waterspout came ashore in Newport Beach. None of the waterspouts caused any serious damage. The exact number of waterspouts and funnel clouds is not known, and the position and path length of each waterspout is very much a rough estimate. This event was not associated with island band convection.
Began near Oceanside Harbor (33.0700, -117.3500).
