Not much evidence of the recent high tides.
Report Details
Not much evidence of the recent high tides. Found unusual to me things in the low drift line. An abundance of small snails on rocks. I myself murdered quite a few by walking out on the rocks. Doesn't seem to be any shortage of adult snails in the cove, by my reckoning.

Human Activities
Number of people: 5. Number of dogs: 1. Walking or running: 4. Photography: 2. Tidepooling: 4. Surfing: 1. Not that there was an extraordinary amount of litter, I just saw some.

Wood pieces, Land-based debris (picnics, etc.).
Natural Changes
No extraordinary sliding. Previous slide not much healed.

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.
