Massive waves smash into million-dollar homes along Malibu coastline as relentless storm surge continues to pound California and piers are closed

Million-dollar homes along the Malibu coastline are being slammed by huge waves as a relentless coastal storm continued to bash California on Friday.

Extraordinarily large waves, generated by powerful swells from Pacific storms caused pier closures early Friday morning and warnings from first responders.

Powerful surf was seen crashing against beachfront homes in Malibu, where emergency sand barriers have been constructed in an effort to limit the damage to the expensive properties.

The exclusive coastline is a property hotspot for celebrities including Lady Gaga, Paris Hilton and Kanye West.

Conditions are moderately better than Thursday, which saw a large rogue wave sweep a beach in Ventura, but the National Weather Service expects bigger waves on Saturday and has issued a high surf and coastal flood advisory that will remain in effect through Monday.

Seal Beach Pier was closed for precautionary measures Friday morning, as well as piers in Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach in Los Angeles County were also shut.

Increased lifeguard staffing has been put in place up and down the Southern California coast from Ventura County to San Diego County.

The Los Angeles-area weather office wrote that powerful cyclones over northern Pacific waters were sending 12- to 17-foot swells, creating 'tremendous wave energy across coastal waters.'

At some points along California, breaking waves were predicted to reach 25 feet.

Astronomical high tides were adding to a significant risk of more coastal flooding, forecasters said.

I’m sure none of them are rich libtards cause they’ve all moved far away from the rising coastline due to climate change 😏

And from SW:

I'm see that I'm not the only one concerned for Jim Rockford.

I*’m trying really hard to work up sympathy for them.

It’s not working.

(Actually, I’m not trying that hard.)
