Report Details
Humans were only noted well above the shoreline, specifically at the Lookout, where people parked their vehicles to get out for a few minutes to observe the seascapes. There was a notable absence of wildlife. (Note that I had seen several whales - probably gray - at the south end of mile 226 only two days prior.). No physical changes were observed since my last quarterly visit.
Conditions
Temperature: 60 F. Cloud Cover: Partly Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Moderate. Wind Direction: SW. Tide Level: 6.0 feet.
Human Activities
Other Activities: The only activities observed were non applicable as they were primarily of people stopping at the Lookout and going to the observation areas to look at the ocean.. There are actually no parking areas or other access sites for the shoreline of mile 226, though an access site just north on mile 227 permits access to the very south end of mile 227. So, the above section is non-applicable.

On a nice, fairly calm and partly cloudy day on the central Oregon coast, there were only a few people driving along Otter Crest Loop and even fewer stopping to enjoy the view from the the Lookout at Otter Crest State Scenic Wayside.

It was a very pleasant sunny day and the ocean was calm, so visibility at and slightly below the surface of the ocean was excellent.

It was a nice day to be observing the coast, what with the moderate temperature, light wind, and clouds that covered the sky thinly.
