Report Details

Wonderful day at my favorite beach during King Tide!

Conditions

Cloud Cover: Partly Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Tide Level: 10.2 feet.

Human Activities

Number of people: 23. Number of dogs: 6. Walking or running: 23. Playing in surf: 2. Photography: 2. Three of us were there to document the King Tides. Friendly people, dogs and even a seal playing in the surf! I was cautious of the south side of Fogarty as the creek was forming a rip tide with the king tide coming in, and there wasn’t a whole lot of beach left on that side when I arrived , I wasn’t sure if most of the south side would be unsafe , since there was little wind this never occurred and I would of been just fine on the south side. Lots of footprints in the sand and minimal beach debris, I stayed until about 12:30 pm . Beautiful day!!! Great wave action!

A baby harbor seal was at the north base of Fishing Rock, along the tide line. There have been many many pelicans active this area lately, we recently saw and estimated 60-100 combined with gulls feasting on some type of fish in water on whole length of beach. This morning there were few pelicans but many swallows diving on the beach.

Fishing Rock shows significant signs of erosion and natural area disturbance, a great deal of evidence of off-trail usage and climbing on sides which has resulted in increased erosion and death of underbrush. Sparse sea bird presence but heavy wrack line velella velella wash up. No current presence of mammals or seabird carcasses, although there was heavy amount of carcasses this winter especially after storms. Evidence of erosion of slopes adjacent to the beach, especially in proximity to new riprap placement, but also in other areas as well. Light plastic and debris today

Some unattended digging dogs seemed troubling, and one thing to note was a lack of birds.

A large concrete retaining wall collapsed last weekend (~Feb 27) endangering the stability of one home with others also vulnerable to further erosion.
