Thurs 02.25.10 - The El Nino influenced winter storms with their attendant high surf have more than chipped away at the sand and beach contours of Huntington Beach's Dog Beach, as there are whole sections of beach that are now depleted, areas where the beach sand was tall and deep are now shallow and thin. What was a nice straight beach is now undulating like a ribbon. Today at 1:17pm was a -1ft low tide which usually would mean at least 50 ft of damp sand extending into the interstitial area of the ocean for the dogs to run on, but instead, due to beach sand erosion, the -1ft low tide was at the mid-high tide mark over much of the 2 miles of Dog Beach.

The power of the ocean and winter storms is truly extraordinary.
