Massive Waves Destroy Beach House Wall and Patio (Raw Storm Footage)

- The perfect storm was created when 2 storms in the South Pacific combined sending a swell unlike any other at the perfect angle for this South-West facing beach during one of the highest tides of the year.
I was taught as a 5yr old - "a wise man never builds his house on the sand"🤷♂️
And common sense should tell that wise man to not build a house so close to the ocean and built down low to the sand and beach 🤦🏻♀️
The wise man built his house upon on a rock, the wise man built his house upon a rock, the wise man built his house upon a rock and the rain came tumbling down. Lol this idk if you're referring to this song😂 if not oh wells
Thank you spoken from a Wiseman.
Sinking sand..
If your home isn't built on the rock, its all sinking sand😉
I don't understand why he is so confused that the waves just keep coming. Obviously this guy has NO IDEA how strong the ocean is, there is nothing that can stop it. When are humans going to learn, building houses right on the beach at sea level is never a good idea.
More money than sense storm hits always hits hard by the beach
@@gilbertofonseca4469 So true brother....
What do you expect from living right by a tsunami
Don't be so harsh. This guy has probably experienced this a few times. Also if you've never lived like this of course you would react this way but this is probably nothing for him and others who live there.
Um, never?
The house was built ON the beach. What did you expect? The only surprising thing about any of this is that it didn't happen sooner.
Maybe he's descended from king Canute.
It was ok until now...the ocean is rising....check it out
@@wientz But the ships just don´t care about that and going on to every harbour?
THAT IS IT! THAT IS WHAT I KEEP ON SAYING...HOUSE BUILT ON THE SAND BEACH WHAT DO THEY EXPECT? SEEMS LIKE THEY DONT THINK...
I can’t believe that they all just stood there and stared.
What should they do?!
There is nothing you can do in this moment to prevent any further damage.
Get away from it.idiots
Its called a tide. They can’t stop it. No matter how many times he says “they just keep coming “.
He is worried about bricks
Not afraid of such high tide bold or crazy?
@@kokilapatel5553 He was worried about the bricks hitting the glass and obviously he was right to be concerned.
Owns a house on the ocean water crashes on his deck and he says I didn't see that coming. Really?
That was classic. Or when he said they just keep coming?!?! I was laughing so hard as waves crashed onto his deck.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 I hear you I couldn't stop either.
@@Jimmy-dp6vz Who owns a house on the beach and is surprized when the "waves just keep coming"?? It is like absurdist comedy.
Right? Why aren't they moving the umbrella & furniture back? I kept thinking that old woman is going to be swept out to sea!
its been going for 3 minutes and he goes "there just not stoppin""- Dude, they don't stop....it's trending toward high tide and you have perfect swell direction for your house being powered by a combo swell. High tide isnt for another hour- time to leave the Rental dude- This guy doesn't live on the beach..not a chance. If he does, he's blowing it Big time.
I'm flabbergasted that someone would live on the beach without having a complete understanding of the power of the ocean and the unpredictability of weather patterns....oooof
These waves are not very large. However the houses are built very close to the breaker line without any serious sea wall. They are incredibly vulnerable. I am amazed that people were even PERMITTED to build in such a location. Presumably no insurance company would touch them.
If it's like Florida, all you have to do is pay the right people, and you can have your house built where others were not allowed. Especially if you are a politician. Saw one big name "political analyst" get state road A1A moved thirty feet so he could get oceanfront.
In Mexico we would call that deck in the unauthorized federal zone , way to far put on the sand. Those waves are not big , no surfers even
I see 10 footers out there..
I thought California had strict zoning laws. But I guess they do have exceptions. Like more tax money.
They could be houses originally built a long time ago. Right before West Island in MA there were some houses built right on the ocean like this. When Hurricane Bob wiped them out the owners weren't allowed to rebuild because the building laws had changed. They still owned the property they just couldn't build on it. All 3 bought recreational vehicles and still enjoyed themselves in the summer.
My dream in life was to someday have a beautiful beach front home and listen to the waves rolling in... Then I watched this video. Thanks!
My dream is to watch it unfold all from a mountaintop very far away .
Think how much money you just saved!😊
Ummm....I would probably move that big glass table somewhere else. Wake up.☀️
@kitch ....right, that would get him more likes for sure.☀️
Building a house on a beach is like claiming ‘this ship is unsinkable’.
Ocean : hold my beer 🍺
So gay
Pretty much a case of 'Rich Man believes he is King Canute'
Lol!!!
@@ILovefood92 it's the stupid " hold my beer" crap . It's so lame that trendy ass people just copy what others say, just a bunch of sheep
Every year during hurricane season, the concept of barrier island seems to be a surprise to many beach dwellers.
Never understood why Americans are allowed to build right on beaches like that. In my country you can't build within a certain distance of the sand or "edge", and even then it's very rare. Almost all of our coastlines have a strip of public land between houses and sand, so that full public access is retained. Much better for everyone.
Hubris
your answer is incorporated in your question, Americans!
World top people🤣😂
Because in your country people obviously have brains.
@@Arltratlo America is the only country with houses on the beach?
I have so much to say! Never, never stand in front of waves like it's some kind of entertainment. People die from this! You wanted ocean front property, now you got it.👌
Waves aren’t stopping - the shock in the voice.
Is he a renter maybe? Seems clueless.
@@samanthab1923 gotta be a rwnter with o water knowledge .maybe 1st time on coast on any water he was very surprised at wave behaviors but he knew about sets and where the wVes break so he must have some knowledge.
Maybe they were renting for the weekend. These houses are usually vacation homes.
Why did u not take the umbrella, chairs and table inside before they were ruined or washed away.
Are they just renting it and don't give a damn?
Don’t be silly. That’d make sense.
Unlike building a house on a beach...
@@frankboff1260 😂😂😂
Exactly!!!
Because they are so filthy rich they don't give a darn
My question is for all the people who live on this beach,,, did you learn anything from this ? or is it still just unbelievable
I assume that it's still unbelievable.
Probably rebuilt and didn't learn anything from it
I could never ever have a restful night sleep if I lived in that house !
Obviously you know just as much about the ocean as these fools.
True 🙌
Hahahhahahahahhahahahhahaa omg we have the same mind
The other day my friend asked me to go for a beach camping trip☠☠
That was existentially satisfying in every possible way.
Absolutely was mesmerized by it I wish I could watch that and fall asleep at night. But I was so tuned in I wouldn't be able to sleep like always. Anyway this was awesome to watch.
I feel terrible for the people but what do you expect ? Didn't you anticipate something like this happening? You are building your house on sinking sand.
I love the beach. I drive to the beach. I would not want to live on the beach. Unless it was in the trailer that would move in an instant. 🌷🙏
Here because of schadenfreude and quite satisfied.
"They just keep coming" "I didn't see this coming!"
YES
Yeah until it happens to you!! It's sad actually....
Absolute proof that $ can’t buy you intelligence.
Some how he made enough money to buy or build that house....but can’t wrap my mind around why it wasn’t a good idea... or even the physics of how and why it’s happening.
Disturbing!
Rental + tourists
I hope no water was damaged during this recording. (Looking for my world’s smallest violin.)
I like the way you think!
A few years ago when I lived in Laguna Niguel I had drinks on one of those patios. I was so envious of the location.
I now live in Charlotte, NC and it breaks my heart to witness the loss of beach and property. I lived in CA 25 years and left a year ago and I still miss it.
“This is terrror!! Crazyyyy!!!” *standing right in front of it, videotaping*😂
Seriously, & that lady with her phone won't be standing there for long!
I think this woman had done lost her mind.
Florida man visits California sometimes
Florida woman you mean?
@@thegirlwithwolves7555 despite the term Florida man is a catch-all vibe for all genders. Plus there is also a dude out there
I’d have been running to at least try to save the tables, chairs, umbrella, plant pots not just watching them get destroyed.. 🤔
My first thought thought exactly!
Unbelievable. That furniture is going to be trashed. Maybe he's renting & didn't choose the furniture? I still think he could help to move it out of the sea.
They don't care, they just gonna buy some new stuff and move on
rental for sure . I thought the same thing.
@@FurnitureFan u read my mind
I would imagine most of these houses were built here more than 20 years ago, before anyone really believed that coastal erosion would happen some day.
20+ years ago scientists were warning of climate change and sea rises. Pity most ppl didn't listen.
@@wientz Climate change + stupidity
Guy builds his house on a sandy beach, get surprised when the water comes in, watch his plastic furniture go into the sea and call it a disaster 😂
Yes man, you are a disaster.
u read my mind!
Stupid is as stupid does.
Probably bought a disaster.
compassion is in short supply on you tube!
When is high tide? In an hour! LOL...I spit my drink!
Sorry but I would have evacuated early. These are the kind of people who hear a noise in the woods and want to go "check it out". When it's time to go, leave!
and often complain because a tree fell on their car.
Sounds about white
Okay, but if they go and check out that noise in the woods, they’re dying first. Gives you time to get away😉
These people aren't smart enough. They don't realize i guess that these waves could take their foundation next.
Had a friend who bought a condo ON Myrtle Beach.
The place was gorgeous, the view, the sound and the smell of the Ocean...
5 years later, the beach was gone, the water under mined the foundation and it was condemned.
The ins companies knew
what was going to happen.
Did the insurance companies pay?
It’s so nice to be able to watch those waves from TH-cam at the comfort of my home 😊
We have to respect nature and never ever construct so near to the coast.
Humans ARE nature. i agree with you about building so close to the shore line tho. its just moronic.
I'm not politically minded. But in the uk you wouldn't usually get building permission to make a home at the back of a sandy beach.
@@user-oo8xp2rf1k uncle jimmy could!
@@jquest43 Thats, great for him. But near the beach? Or really ON the beach? I'm surprised he got planning permission.
@@user-oo8xp2rf1k Jimmy will fixit!
It's a friendly ocean because it waves!
lolol
Ha ha!!
every 4th one is a bigger wave.
That's a gd one .as I wave back.
Thanks, I really enjoyed seeing the oceans ability to dictate who's boss.
I wonder why no one is clearing their property off the patio, like umbrella's and chairs etc..?
Thats too much effort
Doesn’t matter, they can just buy new ones. She lost her sunglasses and cup on table, so clearly they don’t worry about money.
I couldn't believe it when the woman jumped up on the edge of the patio. Hey, people, tides last 6 hours - get your stuff and LEAVE!!!
She had her eyes open though. She saw what was going to happen once the piers were undermined and went back in. He didn't seem to hear what she was pointing out.
3 hours in 3 hours out.
@@raypitts4880 Umm, 3 hours in, 1 hour standing around slack, then 3 more back out!
@@mariebernier3076 Yeah..no.
@@FellLetsPLay Yeah, that's how tides run, sweetie. Why, how do you think they are?
“I didn’t see this coming” 😂
It never ceases to amaze me that people will build houses so close to the ocean ... and are then surprised at the way the ocean behaves.
I cant understand why people like having the ocean as their backyard, it's noisy, stinky, and you never know when it's gonna take out your house when you're sleeping.
I quite enjoy the ocean as my backyard. Born and raised, I wouldn’t have it any other way. The noise of the waves is soothing, and the smell is something I guess outsiders get used to 🤷🏼♀️
As for hurricanes, I have many days notice of when it may hit so I can make preparations or if it’s bad enough, evacuate. We are made aware of storms, any anomalies, know the tide schedules, and when to expect king tides. This idiot is obviously new to the beach if he’s surprised the waves just keep coming - yes sir, they don’t stop. Ever. 😂
Per your comment, I can counter, I don’t understand why folks like the mountains so much? They’re cold, way too quiet, and can also take you out while you’re sleeping (landslide, mudslide, avalanche). Not to mention all the dangerous animals hiding within the woods and forests!
What kind of ocean do you know that stinks?! You should visit before judging...
@@noortjelief1987 have you never smelled pluff mud?
@@i.am.heather Just because some things by the ocean smell bad to you does not mean the ocean smells bad in general.
@@noortjelief1987 very true, but tourists here very often complain of the smell, so I can understand the OP c/o the ocean smelling “bad”.
The ocean is just looking for some new beach front property.
They seem like very irresponsible people ---- or maybe just crazy.
Both.
I think crazy is the requirement for anyone who chooses to live in a house so close to breaking surf.
They sound pretty stupid to me.
I dont know about crazy but clearly clueless. I cant understand not putting the patio furniture away. Instead they are filming and gathering bricks. As someone who has lived on the gulf....thanks for adding to the crap that washes up on distant shores. Ugh!
@Someone Insurance doesn't replace everything!!! Clearly u have been lucky enough not to have to deal with any damage to ur home. It certainly isn't something I want to ever do again
Did they not watch this before posting it? I'd be too embarrassed; but then I wouldn't have been there filming it, either.
He just seemed so astonished...I would be putting plywood up on the windows and doors and get the heck out of the waters way, it's embarrassingly naive to not get the family to a safe place. The man says we will need a few bricks laid after the storm, and his son says you're going to need A NEW HOUSE! The son is more practical than his dad will ever be. I wouldn't have stood there with bricks being thrown left and right hollering " woohoo" every ten minutes. But then I am a very practical person and try to always have a plan B in case plan A doesn't fill the need. I would have had wooden plywood boards stored in the garage with sandbags filled and placed in front of the base of the wooden boards to protect the house from seeping water. Did he not think those flying bricks would break his skull the closer and bigger the surge of water became? It's like...well, Duh....didn't know that might happen to me! And then the wife going over to help save a neighbor's potted plant right at the height of the
wave's crests? Water in any mass amount can wipe you out of everything...and flood water cannot be controlled, only influenced and encouraged to go where you want it to go. And there is only so much you can do to achIeve the containment...so plan ahead and be ready with a protective plan B in case of water flooding. This man had not, and was not willing or serious enough to stop filming and do what he might have done to protect his family and his property. He was way too unconcerned. Baffles my brain.
I guess he thought he would garner a lot of UTube viewers but i think it backfired on him. DUH.
I grew up here and been in several of these homes in the mid 80s. I still have a home down the street. This is horrible. I remember how far the beach used to be from these homes.
Wow! Rising sea levels? Erosion?
Key phrase …use to be
Global warming increase sea level
Maybe it still is far from these houses but if high tide coincides with a serious swell coming in... and who knows what other influences..; that's when it becomes unpredictable.
All the houses on the beach road in Hull and Humarock MA washed away in one storm in '78. They had to build them al on stilts, and that worked, but some started making rooms and garages under the houses and the next storm knocked those down again.
yup some high I Q's there
Those Nor'Easters can be absolutely fierce too. I've seen some vicious seas even off of NY & NJ.
I live in Hull. I wasn't here for 78 and I live in the other end of town but it seems no matter where you are in town you can get flooded. I live at the beginning of Nantasket Ave and I've gotten flooded 3x in 5 years. Stupid landlord still refuses to put in a sump pump.
If you absolutely have to live on the beach then make the ocean facing part of the house in the shape of a ship, with anchor for insurance........... just for the hull of it. Sorry couldn't help it?
Lmao
I fell asleep to the wonderful sound of waves and woke to your patio disappearing, that sucks
i cant imagine a deck built so near the ocean did not include scuppers in the design to allow the water to escape.
I kept waiting for them to rescue their patio furniture! Total bummer about the patio.
I don't think these people know how to carry stuff.
Agreed. No. Shits. Given.
It's not theirs, they rent it. The house next to it has the exact same layout and furniture so.
They are just entitled people and don't care about other peoples losses
Built right on the beach and amazed that the sea is washing you away!.
"Hurricane by A Band of Heathens" is great song. This was a great video I enjoyed watching every second of it. Glad you did board your windows & prevented a very bad situation from happening. Thanks for sharing your video w/us
Does this man even know how waves and the tide works... It's an hour until high tide and he's surprised they're not stopping.
In the Caribbean we say “The sea does not have a back door”, some smart folks here
My Bajan grandmother told us that. Apparently no one told him.
💯
How much “beach” was actually there before the tide came in?😳
That is what I wondered. It didn't look like there was hardly any beach there before these big waves came in.
Theres suppose to be a beach because as you can hear the tide hasnt came yet during this filming
I was trying to figure that out too. Its hard to tell but judging from where those boats are moored it seems like a typical beach I'd guess
“Uh oh Lar, We have a problem”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. 😄”
i had to pause the video, that was gold.
The ocean beautiful and deadly
My fear of Tsunamis would never allow me to live this close to the beach again. But this dude's house is literally on the beach and you didn't think that will happen?
exactly regardless of how rare that is its still rt there
Seemed unphased by any damages I would guess a vacation home rental not owned by this person.
@@musicfanhawk4523 Agree. But Dana Point is a very expensive location to rent a vacation home - seems like they don't understand that they could get washed out.
this is why I would never live so close to the water, inevitable really...
Living on the beach is beautiful...albeit temporary. Keep your checkbook handy!
I like how the lady says "Watch those chairs they might crash into you" Then failed miserably at heeding her own warning.
Dana Point has a history of experiencing very large waves. Those so inclined can research history and find the location was also known as "Killer Dana"before the creation of the harbor. It's name was coined because of extremely large waves that would periodically arrive there. The waves shown in the video are not large at all by historical standards. I suspect the above average swell height combined with a higher than normal tide. The narrator's commentary demonstrates how little he understands of the ocean he is standing next to.
Who died?
@@barclaysauers255
Nice
"creation of the harbor"='destruction of D.P.'$ natural beauty'
They should have reported that the waves were trespassing on their private beach. Afterwards they should have demanded that the Federal and State governments need to pay for the beach repair.
Never underestimate the force of sea waves and not have fun with it!!. (retired sea captain)
Wow... Scary.
Thank you for sharing.
They CLEARY don’t own the house. Otherwise, they would be more concerned snd trying to do what they could by moving the tables, chairs, umbrellas, etc. 🙄🙄
They could at least be considerate to the landlord!
Tourists
in this day an age they could just be clueless
You do know that tables, chairs, umbrellas, etc.... are all replaceable. Right, you do know that?
@@ChiliCheeseD0g Not sure what your point is here, but you obviously missed the point of my comment!! 🙄🙄 Good grief! For clarity.... at no point were these people choosing to save their lives over ‘things’! They were choosing to ‘video’ instead of securing items that could be damaged or could have actually hurt someone! Hope now YOU realize the obvious!!! Ugh 🤦🏼♀️ An owner, would have been more interested in securing the property than making a video for You Tube!!!!!
Reminds me of the Sunday school song... the foolish man built his house upon the sand...and the rains came tumbling down... well the rains came down and floods came up...... and the house on the sand went crash.....
Yaas...thought of it though had forgotten the words..thank you 🙂
Rising sea levels.
King tides.
Converging storm systems .
Sand dunes are there for a reason...to replenish the beach naturally during high tidal storms. 🌊🌬
These people are the most unbothered, relaxed, people ever. Waves crashing onto their deck, almost reaching the house, destroying the deck and he’s like “woo hoo!” I’m very confused.
I always wanted a beach house. Changed my mind!!! 🙏
I could never live next to the ocean like that.. after all the videos I've seen of tsunamis! No stopping nature!
RIGHT?! That's almost exactly what I just said!
I'm still amazed that beach properties are still among the highest priced homes.
I live on the coast. I know it's tempting to have a house right there on the beach but any house that is less than 25 feet above the record tidal surge for their area is vulnerable to this sort of erosion. I live 42 feet above the record tidal surge for my area, 33 feet above the record tidal surge for my state and 8 feet above the record tidal surge for the region. That's at grade. My living room floor is another 18 inches above that. I can walk down to the beach in under 10 minutes any time I want to but I am nice and safely away from the water, 3 blocks away. The houses in my neighborhood are well over 100 years old though mine is made of concrete.
Sea: "I'll be back"
So gay
💪
Haha!
Being so low and so close to the water, I'm amazed this isn't a regular occurrence!
It is all over the world. Catch up man.
@@wientz citation needed Sir. Please enlighten me on just how much sea levels have risen here in the past, oh, 2 or 3 decades or so. Apparently, you think it's enough where at one time, this house was high and dry, but at the time of this storm, it was just a few meters away from the ocean. That would have one heck of a substantial rise in sea levels!!! Funny that it's only been noticed at this one spot!
smfh. . .
I will never understand why there are people who think it's a good idea to build a home THIS close to the shore, especially ones that are vulnerable to strong waters.
Thanks for the video, good to see you are happy with your house and the view.
This would cause me nightmares and severe depression! Scary stuff!!!
A major storm can raise sea levels by several meters.
Your beach house might best be on stilts -- even then, it needs deep roots to avoid being washed away.
красиво жить не запретишь. за считанные минуты размыло ограждение.вот это сила!
Thanks for showing us this. I'm just marvelling at how fast it ate your deck wow
Dana Point is so beautiful but is definitely known for some wild surf. Glad you were able to make repairs to your home.
That’s what happens when you build to close to the ocean.Never underestimate the ocean as she is very powerful
So it's a she?
I can hear in their voice and based on their spectator reaction that money for repairs is probably not an issue...
Mother nature always reclaims what she builds.
It’s so weird that the waves kept coming.
right
also high tide adds to it.
Well from the looks of it that house was built in the 70s so it had a pretty good run.
That’s about right.
nice oceanfront view!
My favorite surfing spot in the early 60’s, with my Hobie surfboard.
Wow! This is exactly why I would never....EVER buy a beach house so close to a hungry ocean.
FEMA is backing out of insurance on dummies who build so close to the ocean,. Why should our tax dollars go to the wealthy and beach homes. I work myself to death, but I appreciate a roof over my head!
@@reglook1 ......Amen, Brother!
Same for all the idiots that build in river flood basins especially along the Mississippi.
exactly I'm in Michigan and Lake MI has taken MANY MANY homes from the coast ( Lake Michigan ) noone but noone builds on the coast here and the. homes still standing have planted dune grass beach grasses built solid sea walks and anchored then down deep. thats on a Lake a big lake indeed but not an ocean.. Im not sure how people can possibly think it won't happen there. it's not if it's when type of thing for sure.
@@paso193 right
That beach was way wider 35 years ago. Beach road has lost the sand . It used to be 100 yards wide
The ocean is so cute ..it’s just coming to play ..like a little puppy 🥰😍🐶🌊
Well I guess come high tide your house becomes a submarine 🤣
good one😂
Atlantis
Must be nice living in the ocean.
😅😂🤣
Wait until sea level rises another inch or two all of these places will be under water.
Never undestimate what water can do. Incredible power.
I'm amazed at how long the umbrella stood. Thank God, there was not more damage than what was done.
I think it's awesome when the ocean takes out a beachfront house....
Well, not if anyone is hurt, but it's hard to feel much sympathy for people that buy oceanfront property. They had to know this would eventually happen.
And this is just a high tide. Imagine all the homes that would be swept away in a localized tsunami.
master of seawall building
No shoreline anywhere in the world remains the same. Madness building.
I will never understand the mindset of people building on the shoreline and on cliffs. It just results in sorrow of loss.
Lesson: Build your house on a beach, or dry riverbed..."who'd a thunk?" 🤔 Lived my whole life "near" the Pacific (Cambria on the California central coast, and the Lost Coast in Humboldt County). Cannot say just how many times I've seen this....once again, we have the true definition of "nutz".
That's amazing .the most distructive part of hurricanes is storm surge.stay safe
So satisfying to watch!
