Massive waves rolling into Ventura beaches as swells reach 15 to 18 feet and some sets close to 20 feet. Waves poured over the walls separating the beach from homes causing flooding in Pierpoint and damage to homes. Bailey Miller reports for the NBC4 News on Dec. 28, 2023.

    People got up front with their phones to record the huge waves, but then took off when the waves fell on them.
  • I have heard the elderly say they have never seen anything like this in their lifetime. That’s worrisome.

    It's Pier PONT not Pier Point 😉. I've lived here 40 yrs- go to Seward turn around where that incredible wave hit: have never seen it that high!

    It's just like... Dude, you get the best barrels ever, dude. It's just like, you pull in, and you just get spit out 'em. You just drop in, smack the lip. Waapah! Just drop down. Swoopah! And then after that, you just drop in, ride the barrel, and get pitted, so pitted.

    I’ve lived here since 1928, never seen anything like this.

    Should of been prepared for this , High surf forecast with Full moon and high tides means the shoreline reaches a higher and longer area .... Mother Nature some times lines up every once in a while , but this was forecast even on a normal surf web page .

    They need that Idiot Law here in California which speaks directly to stupid people who endanger themselves by going out into an ocean that clearly doesn't want them right now, thereby putting emergency responder's lives in danger when they go out to try to save them.
  • I love ventura! I lived in pierpont back in the late 80s. Such a beautiful area❤ Stay safe everone! Mother nature doesn't play!

    All those needles getting washed out. That'll be a fun beach trip this summer.

    I grew up there 60s and 70s... saw big waves but not big. Wow
  • @jaystevens3548
    I feel for SOME of these people. I also love how the reporter at the beginning said the waves " Pushed " the truck when It was painfully OBVIOUS that there was a person in the Rig DRIVING to get away from the waves... MEDIA FEARMONGERING CONTINUES...

    Last year there was snow on Hollywood Beach (just down in Oxnard). Next year? Unicorns?

    I went to Chanel Island High School down there back in the 1970’s. When C.I. High was the C.I.F Champions both in track and field plus football 🏈. My best to all those effected by this wave that hit Ventura.

    I wonder what time it was becasue I looked at the live feed of Ventura harbor and saw a massive crash off to the right. The spray was higher than the tree there
