The wharf that lost a 40-foot section Jan. 5? It’s been there before. And not just once.
A huge storm and high tide that sent waves topping 20 feet slamming into the tourist mecca of Capitola last week, wreaking severe damage upon the city’s historic wharf and waterfront restaurant row, was highly dramatic — but not an anomaly.
The Capitola Wharf, with a section torn out by a 1913 storm in nearly the same area of the structure that was taken out by the Jan. 5, 2023 storm. In 1931, another major tide-and-storm combo hit, trashing vacation cabins and wiping out a newly built miniature-golf course on the waterfront esplanade.
Then 25 years later, the wharf took major blows from a series of storms that broke 35 feet off its end and destroyed a 30-foot section. The Capitola Venetian Hotel is cleaned up, Friday, Jan. 6, 2023, one day after it was pummeled by storm-fueled, high tide breakers in Capitola, Calif.
