Sneaker waves were predicted and the sand showed recent signs of recent flooding. There were lots of Velvella jellyfish on the beach and most of these appeared dried out. I saw cracks and unstable areas of sand in the dunes and bluffs south of the Hobbit Beach trail entrance on the shore. I counted 11 people and two dogs on mile 180 during my visit.

Mile 180 usually has some recent erosion of the dunes and bluffs because of the steep terrain and unstable cliffs of sand.
