"A strong meteotsunami impacted Argentina’s Atlantic coast generating an abrupt sea-level
rise and destructive waves that struck Santa Clara del Mar and nearby beaches in Mar Chiquita Partido. The event occurred during the late afternoon, between 16:20 and 17:00 local time (19:20–20:00 UTC), while beaches were full under hot summer conditions.
Witnesses reported the sea suddenly withdrawing several meters before returning as a violent surge that inundated the shore and threw people and objects inland." W
