Mile 196 Report
Vingie Creek, San Marine Beach south
September 1, 2020
Summer has brought incoming sand piling up.
Report Details
Summer has brought incoming sand piling up. A couple driftwood structures have been made for a windbreak. Plants are encroaching out into the sand since there has been no high tide to wash them away. During the last month we have only seen one mask discarded on the beach so it doesn't seem to be a problem here so far.
Conditions
Temperature: 53 F. Cloud Cover: Partly Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Tide Level: 0.5 feet.
Human Activities
Number of people: 5. Number of dogs: 2. Walking or running: 3. Other Activities: 2 people biking.
Notable Wildlife
Very low tide so lots of gulls out at the water line.
Driftline Content
Due to recent winds and little incoming debris there was no wrack line.
Natural Changes
Lots of sand building up on beach.
