Ocean scientist Gary Griggs, writing in his regular 'Our Ocean Backyard' column for the Santa Cruz Sentinel, warns that an El Niño is developing and that California's coastal communities stand directly in its path. The column highlights the risks of intensified winter storms, heavy surf, beach erosion and flooding that typically accompany El Niño years, urging residents and planners along the coast to prepare for what the pattern may bring.
