Newport Beach, 56th St Outside sets over 1/4 mile out during Hurricane Marie

Newport Beach, 56th St Outside sets over 1/4 mile out during Hurricane Marie. These big waves were breaking way out in front of 36th, approximatly 1/4 or 1/3 of mile out, reforming and hitting 56th. These storm waves were taking the sand out from under the tower. lifeguards eventually pulled tower 56 back.
