Several oceanfront homes on Sunset Beach on the North Shore of Oahu are being threatened by a rapidly eroding beach caused by a combination of high surf and high tides. Waves have created a cliff face which drops 20 feet to the beach in one area, creating a lot of concern from nearby residents. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration coastal storms program coordinator, Dolan Eversole, stated, "It looked pretty bad out there. A couple of foundations are exposed and are very severely threatened."
State officials are planning on inspecting the beach to advise homeowners as what steps they can take to protect their properties. Residents have stated that they are talking to coastal engineers about the possibility of creating a temporary shore protection structure, but in order for them to be allowed to do so, approval must be given by local government agencies.
