Mile 245 Report

Talk about timing!
Report Details
Talk about timing! I was warning a family about the dangers of sitting directly under the cliffs, at the north end of Roads End beach, when a large rockslide came tumbling down about a 100 ft from us. It reminded me of the video of Mt. St Helens exploding, where the whole side of the mountain bulged out before it came down. Other than that, very nice day on the beach. At least 100 people and many off-leash dogs, perhaps 30, most under voice control. Beach itself was clean of small stuff but many large logs. Crabbers in the distance, beyond the Cascade Head Marine Reserve boundary, setting their traps for a Jan 4th harvest.
Conditions
Temperature: 46 F. Cloud Cover: Sunny. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Wind Direction: NW. Tide Level: 1.5 feet.

After king tides and heavy surf, most of the usual driftwood was up nearer the bank along with minimal bull kelp.

The beach mile varied quite a bit - with the south (less traveled) section with darkened sands and clear of most debris while the north end, with more visitors, was covered in stones with more small debris (esp.

Just wanted to say there have been a lot of brown pelicans this season, more than I've ever seen, and I'm wondering if they will stay for the winter?
