ENVR California: Massive strange wave crashes into Ventura beach-- UPDATE: Evacuations

Has No Life - Lives on TB
My dad told a story of being out on the breakwater (alongside the harbor entrance) beyond Morro Rock, at Morro Bay, Ca. about 1948. Suddenly he realized he could see seabed as far to the west as he looked. Realizing that when the sea came back in it would be big, he ran as fast as he could back to the "rock" and climbed as far as he could. When the sea came back, the wave covered the breakwater and up to where he was clinging on the rock. I've scoured the old newspapers from that period and not found any reference to anything like that. But, whenever I lived by the ocean, I never turned my back on the sea. I've been at sea (on a ship) when she gets her back up. It can be a vicisous animal!

I wonder if some deep, underwater bomb was set off. :shr: Dutchsinse is on Telegram but I don't belong to Telegram. (He's been banned on YT). And he did a video (on Telegram, which I can't watch) but it was from December 24th. If anyone here belongs to Telegram and can watch his video and report back, I'd be appreciative.

I was looking at that region off the coast today, mostly intrigued by the two jet streams and that intersection as they converge near that part of California coast.
I tried to link this as a 40 hour loop. I'm not certain it did.

This map updates so the relevance will fade. I dont know how to make a file of this loop set.

I think some of the waves tie in with the gravity anomalies we are getting from some of the asteroids coming near. Specifically asteroid swarms that follow the main tracked ones, think ocean impacts causing waves...


Plus all these supposed UFOs and some of them are big, could they have an effect on gravity, the tides?

A number of years ago we had a news report of an anomalous “tide“ at Boothbay Harbor, Maine. I always figured it was probably because the seabed was warming up from deep Earth heating and a reservoir of Frozen methane transformed into gas and bubbled up to the surface causing a collapse around the bubble being released, which in turn would cause an unexpected change in the surface ocean level. If anyone was aboard a boat directly over such a bubble the boat would drop into the “hole in the ocean”, never to be seen again...
there were no reports of a undersea quake here at the time so I figured the methane bubble best fit the phenomenon. The Ventura beach wave I would think was more likely a result of a sudden change in the sea bottom from a quake.

come to think of it there was a lobster boat that got overturned in Frenchman’s Bay East of Mount Desert Island (Acadia National Park) by a wave that “came out of nowhere. The captain was rescued by a relative who was notified by the wife of the captain who got an emergency alert about his boat being in trouble. Meanwhile the captain managed to rescue his mate whose arms had become injured and couldn’t make it back to the overturned boat. They clung to the hull for a few hours until the rescue boat showed , and then the lobster boat sank immediately after they got onto the rescue boat....

Looks like they are currently experiencing a lot of high surf and flooding. They are saying 15-18 ft so a monster isn’t out of the ordinary. It is the classic rogue wave. A couple of those waves stack together and wham. I would be more worried if it was a calm day and you saw a wave like that.

The Oregon coast has been under a beach hazards warning for days for rogue/sneaker waves washing ashore.

I saw a headline on The Oregonian site today about a little girl who was just hurt by a sneaker wave. I think she was on or behind a seawall and a wave came in carrying a log that whacked her good. Unfortunately, sneaker waves in Oregon are not at all uncommon and it seems every year someone gets hurt or killed by one. The coastal towns have even made big waves into a tourist attraction: "Come to the coast and watch the winter storms deliver massive waves!" I seem to recall someone once told me they saw a wave crash over Haystack Rock, although I sure hope they were talking about spray from a wave hitting the rock and the wind carrying it over the top because that thing is 235 feet tall! My point being, it may be rare for big waves to hit California, but it's not rare in the Pacific Northwest.

Friend of mine told me a story years ago.

He worked as crew on a tug.
They were dragging something up the east coast.
It was late at night he was in the wheelhouse on watch. All the sudden the radar screen went completely opaque to the east. He had no idea what was going on but had to wake the captain due to what he thought was a failure of the radar.
Captain started adjusting the radar up and down and realized it wasn't broken it was looking at a wall of water. The captain had heard of the phenomenon and pretty much says if that hits us we're dead.
It was way in the distance and thankfully disappeared as fast as it appeared.

Rouge waves were essentially a sea fairing tale.
First actually scientific recording of it was in the north sea if I recall.
The wave interrupted some sort of Lazer beam the was being bounced between oil rigs for positioning.

I hope the little girl is ok.

The little girl is in the hospital and stable, but the log hit her in the back of the head and pinned her face down into the sand until people could get the log off her.

Rogue waves come out of nowhere and can really do a number on you. Rouge waves just make your face (and possibly your body) turn red. :)
