Report Details
I submitted a report recently on a beach 245 miles to the South, mile 49, the Port beach in Port Orford, where I noticed many jellyfish washed up. I was struck to find same up north. Maybe late summer is the ordinary end of their life cycle, but just in case, I am making this dispatch. There was also something unusual looking to me. I think it was a plant of some sort. (CoastWatch program manager identified it as a mermaid's purse or egg case of a shark, skate or chimaera).
Conditions
Temperature: 60 F. Cloud Cover: Sunny. Wind Velocity: Moderate. Tide Level: 3.8 feet.

I observed new signs in Rockaway city proper, restricting using the public access to the beach at 1st and 2nd Avenues. Sign reads NO ACCESS: Until further notice, all city owned paths, walkways, stairs, and any other improved or unimproved access ways to recreation areas are closed.

Overall the beach looked pretty good for post king tides and fireworks.

For the day after a holiday weekend the beach was exceptionally clean.
