A relatively dry afternoon; maybe three people besides me.
Report Details
A relatively dry afternoon; maybe three people besides me. More sizeable driftwood (logs over five feet) than I'm used to seeing on this beach. Am watching bluff erosion at World Mark; monitoring ongoing riprap placement north of Laurel Street; I've walked this three times in the past four days. Have seen no beached wildlife. Sanderling flock and a few gulls. A pileup of bull kelp at the foot of Wallace Street; several places where runoff is creating streams across the sand due to heavy rains

Human Activities

Storm damage for this mile seems mostly at Laurel/Sijota; Morris Excavation has built a roadbed parallel to the bluff for equipment access; some erosion at World Mark, north of state park.

Remarkably little debris - anticipating a different story after the King tides!
