Episode Details

Southern California’s beaches are under siege as king tides and massive swells flood boardwalks and erode shorelines—just as summer approaches. Experts warn that narrow beaches, combined with seasonal wave energy and a looming El Niño, are accelerating the damage. Residents in Long Beach and Newport Beach are watching water breach temporary barriers nightly, frustrated by delayed sand replenishment projects and rising costs. While some say nature will restore the sand, others demand urgent human intervention like dredging to protect homes and iconic spots like the Wedge. With coastal erosion intensifying, the question isn’t if we’ll need to act—but when, and how.
