Report Details
Commenting on the previous mile report, 1/3/23. Thank you Erik for reporting. The big differences I see from your photos are increased rock exposure and sluffing of sand bank below the condominiums just north of the ramp. The undermining of the ramp is significantly increased since last year. Repairs from last year appear to have been cosmetic, using small rocks and sand shoved into the undermined area. Summer wind blown sand covered the area but this has apparently been removed by the increased wave activity. Also the storm drain pipe and bank to the south appears to have receded 3-4’ exposing more pipe and creating a steep bank on the dune. Thank you for posting this report.
