What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Warm waters associated with El Niño have supercharged high tides in Long Beach. Combined with hurricane-driven waves coming up from the south, these conditions have stripped significant amounts of sand from the Peninsula's beach. This erosion has exposed the wooden bulkhead under the coastal boardwalk in a narrow stretch of homes.
