The New River water level was lower than I have seen it in 5 years, my socks didn't even get wet on the crossing. Last weeks winds had pushed waves topping the dune on the north half of mile 95 leaving the beach looking pretty good. The New River outlet has turned to the south for about 200 feet after it meets Two Mile Creek and then turns west and into the ocean. That's normal for this area, just a little earlier than usual. Animal casings and small rocks in driftline. 1 dead seagull. Low human impact(4)- 2 working on fencing for Snowy Plover nesting sites, 2 on permitted ATV studying Snowy Plovers.
