Mile 307 - Cove Beach north, Arch Cape, Arch Cape Creek - November 24, 2015

Report Details

KING-TIDE! But the drift line indicated that the waves had been considerably higher the week before during a big storm leaving a lot of large driftwood. Noticeable changes in the rock berm: severe erosion of the mouths of 2 small streams coming out onto the beach (see photos) Sand level coming down, especially at the South end of the Arch Cape, where now exists a huge pool, so one cannot walk through the Arch to theArch Cape beach. Much foam in the waves (coinciding with the increased levels of domoic acid?)

Mile 307

Cove Beach north, Arch Cape, Arch Cape Creek

March 14, 2024

The wrack line contained small (2-4") crab casings, clam shells and broken sand dollars. There was a small land slide near a house drain line - see picture. The sand level was low on the north end of mile 307 which leaves the rocks uncovered.
