The erosion has severely impacted oceanfront communities, with homes, walkways, and rail infrastructure suffering damage. In Long Beach, evacuation orders were issued for 24 homes due to structural risks. Coastal rail lines in San Clemente were closed after waves caused slope damage. The erosion highlights the vulnerability of developed coastal areas, where natural sand movement is constrained by infrastructure. With El Nino conditions expected to intensify, the risk of coastal flooding and erosion may increase in the coming months.
