Report Details
In general, there was very little visible debris. However, we suspect a lot will appear as the sand gets shifted around by winds and tides. At the time of tihs report, the tide was only a foot or so but beginning to come in, but by noon would be almost 8'. A small group of people were standing in ~1' of water near a rock ~50' out. If they stayed there very long, they'd have found it had become pretty deep for the little kids with them. (Note photo)

What stays the same here and needs attention is the plastic drainage pipes hanging down the cliff from private property that drain onto the beach.
