One hour before low tide, near Twin Rocks.
Report Details
One hour before low tide, near Twin Rocks. Near tideline was a 45-foot-long tree, branches and roots long-since cut off. It was covered on one side, top to bottom, with live gooseneck barnacles. The barnacles at the root end of the tree were huge, some with 3" shells (capitulum?) and foot-long stalks (peduncle?). The feathery creatures were still active and emerging from the shells. Tiny, unattached larvae versions of the feathery creatures were actually running around over the bigger creatures.I've never seen gooseneck barnacles this big on any beach debris before. These were well established. Took the photos with my cell phone, sorry for poor quality.

According to tide tables, tide should have been well under 6’, but tide seemed much higher and earlier than tide table.

Noticed what seem to be an elk carcass but mostly just the hide or pelt maybe some bones mid size.

Large amount of errosion to the coastline, logs and trees have been moved around due to our recent King Tides and High surf.
