Photograph (engineering notebook photoprint) looking south from foot of 28th Street, Hermosa Beach, showing washed out concrete walk around tennis court, Los Angeles County. 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. This photograph was taken with the ebb tide at about 10:45 A.M. Also visible are: houses, other buildings, wooden railing, benches, sign, workmen, pier in distance, utility poles and lines, ocean. No legible signs.
