Tropical Storm Marie Surf Red-Tags About 12 Dana Point Homes as 10-Foot Waves Hit Coast

Summary
About a dozen Dana Point beachfront homes were red-tagged and deemed uninhabitable after days of heavy surf tore into ocean-facing decks and other structures.
6- to 10-foot breakers on south- and southwest-facing beaches — plus evening high tides topping 7 feet — pushed waves farther inland as Tropical Storm Marie churned hundreds of miles offshore.
20 homes along the Long Beach Boardwalk were also evacuated, and shoreline damage was reported in Malibu and other coastal communities.
11 p.m. Tuesday marks the end of high surf and coastal flood advisories for parts of Los Angeles and Orange counties, where residents were still sandbagging and boarding up homes.
