The surf is up.
Coronado City workers were seen along Coronado’s coastline beginning to clean up after parts of Coronado’s coastline were flooded with sea water. High tides, strong winds and a west-northwest swell helped to contribute to flooding of beaches, sidewalks and at least one street (Avenida Del Sol) in Coronado.

Waves up to 20 feet have been reported near La Jolla Cove and other parts of San Diego. Be sure to check beach water quality conditions before heading to the beach.
Did you know there’s a second set of stairs at multiple points along Coronado’s beach near @CoronadoShores_ and @delcoronado ? The recent storm and high tide revealed them. 😯😯😯 pic.twitter.com/mPO4EpSOV4

The waves, the floods, the erosion… this morning has been absolutely jaw dropping y’all. It’s tempting to view as an isolated incident, however how much more often should we expect events like this given climate change? pic.twitter.com/86yEhYbEeB
