WATCH: Eight Hospitalized, Beaches Closed as Hellish Waves Pound California Coastline
At least eight people were injured Thursday after a “rogue” wave crashed into the California coastline.
A series of videos shared on social media showed the moment a series of waves, one of which was particularly massive, swamped the shorelines of California just days after Christmas. At least eight people were hospitalized after one wave overwhelmed the promenade in Ventura, footage of which was shared by the Ventura County Fire Department.

A rogue wave is a large, unexpected, and dangerous type of swell, sometimes called “killer” or “monster waves,” according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The wave in Ventura, seen below from a different angle, led to beach closures throughout the area due to the destruction it caused.
