Report Details
The most unusual factor was the extreme low tide (-2.4). Usually, a lot of people are on the beach at such times, but not today. I did not find one bird carcass in my short "mile" and that seemed unusual, based on past experience. the beach was very clean, with a minimal amount of litter. Perhaps the extreme high tides of last week swept everything away.Most of the fishing boats were on their trailers on the dock; probably due to reduced fishing at this time and the low tide when they could not be launched.

Quiet on this beach today. There are always more dead birds here than on the Battle Rock Beach.

Beautiful day! Sunny clear blue skies (Tee shirt weather) about as good as it gets here. Beaches looked clean and in good shape.

Cloud cover broke as we were eating lunch prior to going into the beach. On the pocket beach by Battle Rock saw a dead tree looking ready to fall off Battle Rock, almost directly over where the tunnel exits onto that beach.

The beaches were pretty clean this visit except for an exceptional amount of small trees and branches up with the logs at high tide line. There was no one on the Port Beach but 3 different people used the picnic table at the Sailor memorial while I was there.

The dead jellies were only on the main beach, not the little pocket beach bordering Battle Rock.

Velella velella in piles with the logs high in the sand.
