⚠️ Newport Beach is already building berms ahead of the next round.
Hurricane Polo just exploded from a tropical storm to a Category 5 overnight, the second-fastest intensification on record!
With current sustained winds of 165 mph, 920 mb pressure, and peak seas of 40+ feet, it’s currently parked off Mexico. The core stays offshore, but a massive swell is coming. Models have it hitting SoCal late week into the weekend, bringing 10–15 ft faces to south-facing spots and up to 20+ at Wedge. After Marie took 150 feet of beach since 2023, the city isn’t waiting around.
