Temperature: 55 F. Cloud Cover: Foggy. Wind Velocity: Moderate. Wind Direction: NW. Tide Level: 7.0 feet.

Number of people: 20. Number of dogs: 2. Walking or running: 18. Playing in surf: 2. Surfing: 1. Other Activities: One fellow was on a different type of long boat/ board laying down and paddling with his arms and hands only. He maneuvered rather easily in the moderately rough surf. Remarkable how he navigated the deep water surf and covered a considerable distance in a short period of time. Interesting to watch.. Most people were preparing to leave or leaving. The wind was picking up and spitting in our faces.

2 gulls

Small rocks, Seaweeds and seagrass, Shells, Wood pieces.

All in good order and well maintained.

Stream modification. See description below, in natural changes.

Evidence of wave overtopping. I have been frequenting Harris Beach for 10 months since moving to the area and I have observed a dramatic change in the run-off from about which has developed into a deep channel that now runs parallel to the shoreline and has created a large pond near the informal pathway near the north edge of the parking lot. That landscape has changed a lot.

No action. Just mentioning it now.
