Big waves and high tides slammed Orange County’s coast, forcing six homes in Dana Point to be red-tagged as unsafe, with two more there and three in Laguna Beach yellow-tagged due to erosion and storm damage. The Capistrano Beach parking lot is closed for repairs, and city officials are on high alert ahead of another incoming tide. Longtime residents, some living there for generations, face devastating consequences as aging homes buckle under relentless coastal forces. Emergency measures like boulder revetments are being rushed through by the California Coastal Commission, even outside normal hours. In Laguna Beach, a damaged seawall led to beach closures despite no immediate structural danger. Residents and city staff are working together to stabilize properties before the next big wave hits.
