Report Details

There was a tsunami watch/warning earlier today. I believe the expected landfall of the first wave was some time around 7 am. I was unable to get to a location overlooking the ocean this morning, but I was able to get to the second closest beach (to my residence) this afternoon--mile 218. To orient anyone reading this report in terms of time & tide, high tide is supposed to be 5.8' around 5pm today (Yaquina Bay). I'm going to post one or two photos of the beach I took today and will also post 1, maybe two photos I took of the same beach/mile 218 on March 30, 2010, at around 12:44 pm, during a storm surge, high tide that day was at 1:30 pm, and 7.8'(Yaquina Bay, reference NOAA tide tables).To compare the two photos, look at where the darker sand is on the beach in today's photos. Imo, that probably marks the maximum reach of the waves today, although I'm making an educated guess.

Very few people on the beach; most of them arrived just prior to sunset (which was beautiful).
