Report Details

Very nice day, strong wind when we started off at 3 p.m., calmed down by 3:45 or so. Lots of people out. Pretty big waves, but good low tide. There was a sewage smell coming from the northernmost stream on the mile. Not sure if that is from the campground that is directly across 101 or just lots of decay. Didn't see any obvious signs. Very clean beach too, didn't see any trash.
