Report Details
Enjoyed a warm sunny afternoon stroll on Mile 194 with no wind. Tide was still going out in the early afternoon heading for a -0.2ft tide at 5:18p. The high tide line was still wet from all the rain and high tides, so had to watch my step due to slippery conditions. Observed many gulls, sea stars, green anemones, mussels and barnacles, but didn't observe any killdeer or oystercatchers today. No obvious erosion noted during the King Tides. Gorgeous ocean surf!

My Coastwatch began with a flyover by six brown pelicans just above the surf at the southern border of Mile 194!

A welcome calm, partly sunny hour on Mile 194 amid what has been several days of hail, high winds and rain.
