Del Mar, the town this property stands in, in 8 storm reports between 1997 and 2023: 3 funnel cloud, 2 rip current, 1 high surf, 1 lightning.
The reports record 7 injuries. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Waves reaching 15 feet generated strong rip currents. Seven surfers, divers, and swimmers had to be rescued by lifeguards. Heavy surf continued into the following day, but no other rescues were reported.
The combination of long period swells and spring tides caused minor flooding and beach erosion in the Del Mar area, and forced the closure of Ocean Beach Pier .
