High surf damages Avila Pier, batters beaches along SLO County coast. See photos

High surf ripped four pilings from Avila Pier on Saturday and forced beach closures along the San Luis Obispo County coast as powerful waves battered the shoreline. The National Weather Service warned that breaking waves could reach 18 to 25 feet along county beaches. A high surf warning remained in effect until 3 a.m. Sunday, with a coastal flood warning continuing until 6 p.m. Saturday. At Avila Beach, Port San Luis Harbor Patrol officer Dax Theis said four pilings had broken loose from the Avila Pier. The pier was closed Friday afternoon, and public beach access was restricted shortly before 1 p.m. Saturday, he said. The Harbor Patrol planned to reevaluate conditions throughout the day. Theis said crews were stretched thin as they monitored the waterfront, warned visitors away from dangerous areas and urged parents to keep children out of the water. Surfers were still entering the ocean Saturday, he said, despite the hazardous conditions. He also cautioned against walking dogs on the beach. Sneaker waves were a particular concern . These unexpectedly powerful waves can surge much farther up the beach than preceding waves, potentially knocking people down or sweeping them into the ocean. Theis said the Harbor Patrol

El Niño brings ‘crazy,' record-breaking seawater temperatures to SLO County coast

Jim Sparks has been surfing for 55 years, and he’s never experienced water so warm in Pismo Beach. “Sometimes it feels like you don’t even want to have a wetsuit on,” he told The Tribune soon after exiting the ocean. The balmy waters are due to a Kelvin wave associated with El Niño that is moving warm seawater up California to San Luis Obispo County, meteorologist John Lindsey said. On the Central Coast, seawater temperatures usually reach their seasonal maximum during autumn, averaging at about 62.5 degrees. But this fall, ocean temperatures have been about 7 degrees warmer than usual, he said. The Harvest Platform buoy off the coast of Santa Barbara recorded an all-time high of 72.7 degrees this month, which exceeded the previous record high of 70 degrees set in September 2015, during a prior El Niño event, he said. Meanwhile, Station 19-10 in Patton Cove, south of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant , recorded a seawater temperature of 69.5 degrees in October, which broke the record of 67.7 degrees set in September 2015. The water has been so warm that Pismo Beach surfer Penelope White could surf without a wetsuit the first weekend of November, she
