The incident occurred while the area was expected to see dangerous high surf along the beaches, with city officials warning residents of hazardous conditions including strong rip currents.
City officials had issued a warning about hazardous conditions on the beaches, including strong rip currents that could 'pull even the strongest swimmers out to sea.'
By 1 p.m., city officials shut down all access to the wharf, blocking pedestrian traffic due to the partial collapse caused by the high surf.
A High Surf Warning was expected to remain in effect until 6 p.m. Tuesday, with powerful waves reaching up to 60 feet, creating life-threatening conditions.
