Report Details

A long walk on a wet morning. Not many people out this day. Wind was calm although it was raining lightly. Surf was low. Have noticed more birds moving south over the last few days. Whether this is weather-related or migration or both, not sure. Certainly, this time of year we always see pelicans flying south, low over the water behind the surf.

We have noticed that during the winter storms the sand on the beach moves (presumably offshore) and then is redeposited during spring.
