Mile 226 Report
Otter Crest, State Wayside
March 28, 2016
It was cool, mostly sunny, and still calm at 10:30 a.
Report Details
It was cool, mostly sunny, and still calm at 10:30 a.m., so it was a beautiful morning to view the ocean. I looked for whales, but none were observed. There was also a paucity of the usual seabirds, only a very few of the ubiquitous gulls being seen. Visitors to the Lookout were relatively few in number, despite the good ocean viewing, as the Visitor Center is closed on Mondays.

Temperature: 47 F. Cloud Cover: Sunny. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Wind Direction: E. Tide Level: 1.0 feet.

The only activity was at the Lookout, where an average of two cars and several people were there while I was. All were looking at the ocean view on the nice, sunny day.

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.
