Beach and Harbor Areas Flooded by High Tide
High tides last year flooded beach and harbor areas at Seal Beach and Surfside. Water came within about 15 feet of Seal Beach homes while Surfside endured waves washing over timbers and concrete barriers, destroying several houses. Residents, including Marvin Eisenhower, recalled grandfather links to the President and noted local property ownership dates. The pontoon bridge reopened after repairs from prior tides and was scheduled to close again for the next high tide, with forecasts predicting continued elevated levels before Friday’s subsidence.
