Mile 307 Report
Cove Beach north, Arch Cape, Arch Cape Creek
December 13, 2015
My observation was one and one half hours after low tide.
Report Details
My observation was one and one half hours after low tide. With the rough sea and strong waves it was not safe to go on the little area of beach that was available on the outgoing waves. The rough sea created a lot of sea foam (see picture). The recent storms pushed driftwood logs over the rock berm into the pond. The ocean also moved some of berm rocks north to the berm adjacent to the pond.

Temperature: 44 F. Cloud Cover: Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Moderate. Wind Direction: NW. Tide Level: 3.0 feet.
Beached Birds
Total dead birds: 1. One Common Murre
Driftline Content
Wood pieces.

The wrack line contained small (2-4") crab casings, clam shells and broken sand dollars. There was a small land slide near a house drain line - see picture. The sand level was low on the north end of mile 307 which leaves the rocks uncovered.
