Report Details

Walked the beach at low tide. Beach appears very smooth, no potholes or undulations that I've observed last year. Evidence of the king tides was clear; sand soaked the beach grass higher than I've seen before, and driftwood was threatening a number of beachfront homes. Noticed a broken up dock washed ashore. Mostly sunny day, temp just below 50, light breeze. Did notice surfers north of my mile. Average number of beach walkers given the conditions.

Conditions

Temperature: 48 F. Cloud Cover: Partly Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Wind Direction: N. Tide Level: 1.0 feet.

Human Activities

Number of people: 20. Number of dogs: 7. Walking or running: 20. Mainly observed people strolling on the beach. Dogs off-leash a frequent concern; one came running up to me and barked.

Vehicles

Cars/trucks parking: 2.

Driftline Content

Land-based debris (picnics, etc.). There appeared to be pieces of a broken up dock washed ashore.

We usually access the beach via an entry at Surfland which hasn't been easy in the past.
