WATCH: Video shows waves surging in Del Mar, knocking into the pier in Ocean Beach and surging onto the streets in Imperial Beach.
The big waves were knocking against the Ocean Beach Pier, which has been closed to foot traffic since Thursday. A San Diego spokesperson said the pier would need to be assessed for damage before it can be safely reopened to the public. The pier went through major renovations and was reopened in July 2022 after suffering severe storm damage butLifeguards were also concerned damaging waves and winds could create the perfect combination for damage to the already-fragile bluffs.
The same was happening in Del Mar and spectators gathered to look at the spectacular tide covering what would be Del Mar Dog Beach. Video showed the surge going under the Coast Highway underpass and spectators could be heard saying the waves were crashing into the bridge supporting the thoroughfare.Another reason to stay away from the beaches: urban runoff.
