Report Details

I have always been curious what is happening at my mile during high tide. I generally go at low tide to access the most sand and tide pools I can.  Since Christmas day had a king tide, I did a brief survey. I was surprised to see the number of vehicles I did,  but I saw only 3 surfers in the cove.  A woman and her dog were running down the trail as I was walking up. I will return later this season to do a more thorough survey.

Conditions

Temperature: 47 F. Cloud Cover: Partly Cloudy. Tide Level: 7.8 feet.

Human Activities

Number of people: 4. Number of dogs: 1. Walking or running: 1. Surfing: 3.

Concerns

Apparent violations: One surfer did not use the trail to return to his vehicle..

Vehicles

Cars/trucks parking: 6.

Driftline Content

Seaweeds and seagrass. I didn't actually walk the mile this trip, because of high surf.

Two separate study groups were present, one measuring Gumboot Chitons and the surrounding algae and one studying sea urchins, ones living in pits versus ones not. I saw a couple families bringing their small children to South Cove, and a flock of pelicans.

There was a beach hazard statement issued and I wanted to see what impact that would have as we were experiencing the first fine weather after so many weeks of cold rain. I was charmed by a family of six playing on the beach, the children even playing in the water.
