Report Details

It was a warm day at Ocean Beach.  The rock fields typically noted at the north end of the beach are mostly covered.  There is a large rock field mid beach now.  The large rocks on the beach were completely visible in the low tide.  I noted one sea star but it was in the water possibly moving locations.  This was one of my first times observing on this beach when I didn't see many plastics in the debris line.  There are two large driftwood structures on the beach, one at the north end, one at the south.  Lots of driftwood in both of those areas.  Waterfalls at mid beach and north end are still running.  Many of the giant logs I noted on the beach in January have moved back out into the ocean.  I didn't note any sea bird activity.
