Big Wednesday 2014: Hurricane Marie

Dateline: Wed., August 27, 2014.

Hurricane Marie is wreaking havoc with huge waves up and down Southern California's south facing beaches. The Wedge is absolutely Ginormous!  Seal Beach is flooded and lifeguard towers threatened.  Peninsula Beach at the southern tip of Long Beach has large berms of sand protecting the homes along this thin stretch of beach.

Meanwhile Malibu Point is Enormous!  Not missing out on the swell, Will Rogers State Beach is seeing larger surf than usual.  This morning around 10:45 a.m. we stopped by Sunset Point, followed by Will Rogers Lifeguard HQ, and then we strafed Santa Monica Lifeguard HQ where the swell was not yet showing the same size as at Will Rogers.  Here are the photos plus one video which we hope you enjoy...
