Photograph (engineering notebook photoprint) looking north from foot of 22nd Street, Hermosa Beach, at about mean tide (11:45 A.M.), Los Angeles County. San deposited next to concrete walk and washed out next to sea. Manhattan pier in distance. This was the result of high tides (6.8 feet and 6.6 feet), accompanied by heavy ground swells and breakers which did considerable damage to piers and ocean front property between Hermosa Beach and Santa Monica along the route of the proposed "Ocean Front Walk" location of State Route 163. The high tide on 25 January occurred at 8:52 A.M. and measured 6.6 feet (low tide, 2:00 P.M.). Also visible are: houses, street lights, benches, pedestrians, utility poles and lines, ocean. No legible signs.
