Mirada Surf Park - King Tide 11-26-15

Happy Thanksgiving!
Mirada Surf Beach, a quarter mile south of the breakwater at Princeton Harbor.

This stretch of the coast is experiencing accelerated erosion.  This accelerated erosion has multiple causes.  One is the breakwater itself.  The beach is finding a new curve, so it is eroding more quickly to its south.  But the waves in these photos reach higher than they otherwise would due to a king tide which has more of an impact as the sea level rises.  This year we also have el Niño which will exacerbate the problem even further as the West Coast feels its effect.
