Mile 220 Report
Yaquina Head north, Schooner Creek south
November 16, 2020
Another good day for King Tides.
Report Details
Another good day for King Tides.High Tide was at 12:08PM at 10.3 ft. NOAA had a surf height of 10-14 ft. The weather was 50 degrees, with wind blowing from the south at 20mph. Cloudly sky, and what felt like ultra, ultra, ultra fine mist--so didn't count it as rainy. My rain gauge showed NO difference between start and end of excursion.
Conditions
Temperature: 50 F. Cloud Cover: Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Moderate. Wind Direction: S. Tide Level: 10.3 feet.
Human Activities
I saw a total of 5 persons and 2 dogs. The first person was walking up from cliffside top with a dog. The second person was with a dog at the cliffside top where I photograph for King Tides. The person appeared to be "camping" on the cliffside top, and the dog didn't look friendly---so I took no pictures there, and rapidly went to other photo site. Persons 3-5 appeared between the cliffside top and where I was taking photos at beach access normal photo spot. Every minute or so one of the three would look over toward cliffside top--I presume checking out for safety from dog. HENCE, I took my photos very fast and didn't wait to see if a major wave would change photo sample. Persons 3-5 moved down to my spot when I vacated.
