It washed away the structures around it that normally contain it.

"This is crazy, I'm always boogie boarding I've never seen anything like this, this much water, that's all washed out, it's unbelievable," Stinson Beach resident Ocean Nage said.
The official word from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area is that both Stinson Beach and Muir Woods were closed to the public because of the storm damage.
