California coast this week and are galvanized by the powerful pattern of El Niño in the Pacific Ocean. The recent event is unexpected to be as pronounced as the waves, expanding the California coast in the past week. However, the huge waves are happening more often as per researchers, since global warning expands severe weather conditions, elevating sea levels.

Afterwards, a periodical high tide can bring an even greater amount of water inshore within 10 days, as per Laura Engeman, who is a coastal resilience specialist with California Sea Grant. According to her in the case there are big waves during those days, we might witness more flooding. The recent round of waves is not predicted to be as powerful as the late event in December. It is the future El Niños as well as the rise in coastal flooding, charged by the warm climate that caution those who have studied the coast. El Niño comes with more active winter storms, and elevated sea levels according to an oceanographer at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, William Sweet. This translates to more flooding in coastal areas, greater amount of extreme erosion, and higher astronomical high tides.
