King tides and a big swell hit the Southern California coastline on Friday, Nov. 7, combining to cause flooding in some areas.

At Capistrano Beach, the parking lot was closed as the water poured over rocks and k-rails when high tide hit around 9:20 a.m. — an extreme high tide of about 7 feet that coincided with a strong northwest swell that brought 6- to 8-foot waves at some beaches.
