| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Long duration high surf caused damage across Monterey Bay and resulted in numerous attempted water rescues on December 23. Around 1244 PST, around 150 feet of the Santa Cruz wharf collapsed and fell into Monterey Bay. Prior to 1300 PST, wave heights at buoy 46284 were building to around 18.7 feet with a dominant period of around 22 seconds. True wave direction was likely more westerly, but due to the location of the buoy, the wave direction read largely southwest. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The Monterey County Sheriff's Office responded to a call around 2:14 PM on December 23 that a man visiting from Asia had been swept out to sea near Point Joe in Del Monte Forest. A witness said that the man was knocked into the water while standing on a rock. The search turned into a rescue mission after 45 minutes, and searches continued into Tuesday. |
