Happy New Year Ocean Beach!  It was a very warm winter day so lots of people and dogs were enjoying the beach.  The rocks at the base of the stairs which are normally up against the bluff, were moved by the high tides down into the surf.  There are many more exposed large rocks mid beach.  More large driftwood logs are scattered all along the beach.  The wind gusts were quite strong and the sneaker waves were coming up past the high tide line.  I also noted some sort of egg like blobs in the drift line.  I don't know what they are.  The waterfall that is present at mid beach is roaring and flowing to the ocean.
