Photograph (engineering notebook photoprint) looking north from point 300 feet south of Bicknell Avenue, Santa Monica, along the route of the proposed "Ocean Front Walk" location of State Route 163 between Santa Monica and Redondo, showing extent of erosion between Pico Boulevard and the Crystal Pier at the foot of Hollister Avenue, Los Angeles County. This was the result of a 6.2 tide on 9 January 1940 accompanied by heavy ground swells and 30 foot breakers which did considerable damage to piers and ocean front property between Newport Beach and Malibu. Also visible are: beach, buildings, ocean, walkway, pedestrians, street lights, mountains in the background. Fog hangs over the area. No legible signs.
