Visitors to Santa Monica Beach Thursday were greeted with a rare sight, as the Pacific Ocean dispensed sizable waves during the late morning hours.

Santa Monica was one of the Los Angeles County beaches put under a [high surf advisory](https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=CAZ366&warncounty=CAC037&firewxzone=CAZ366&local%5Fplace1=Santa%20Monica%20CA&product1=High+Surf+Advisory&lat=34.03&lon=-118.48&ref=smdp.com) by the National Weather Service, remaining through Thursday evening.

While high winds and big waves posed problems in some areas, Santa Monica came through the weather event without any damage.
