Mile 238 Report
Salishan Spit, North Lagoon, Siletz Bay
January 2, 2019
Much erosion along Mile 238 north of beach access 50B.
Report Details
Much erosion along Mile 238 north of beach access 50B. Bulldozers are adding boulders and sand and working daily. Some beach access points are currently unusable until additional sand can bring the paths to a level of walking directly off the beach. Right now, some rock climbing would be required, but it is recommended to avoid using those exits. Winter tide levels are high throughout the day, making a straight walk along the entire mile nearly impossible most of the day (between sneaker waves and erosion).
Conditions
Temperature: 40 F. Cloud Cover: Partly Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light.
