Mile 237 - Gleneden Beach north, golf course - December 11, 2017

Report Details

It was a sunny wind-free hour on the beach. No people or dogs. No debris. A couple of exposed gravel beds with some nice-sized agates.

Conditions

Temperature: 58 F. Tide Level: 2.5 feet.

Driftline Content

I'm assuming that due to high wave action, there was practically nothing on the beach. Driftwood was all the way up to the cliffs/short dunes.

The most important factor for me personally with the changes I've observed in this section of my mile is how impactful the shoreline armoring has been on the beach to the south.

The most heartbreaking part of my mile report today is that I couldn't even walk my entire mile due to shifting sand and the subsequent tide (even though I did this at low tide,) preventing a safe northward walk. I have been walking on this stretch of beach since the early seventies and never-- even five or ten years ago, would you not had adequate distance to walk the beach from the surf to the foredune. I provided on pic looking north on my mile from the top of a revetment that was installed a few years ago, that's the only way I could get a glimpse of it safely.
