View of the coastal area of Redwood National and State Parks this weekend with sun, clouds, amenable tides, and the ongoing evolution of sediment properties and abundance. Here, we can see onshore rocks, a stretch of sandy beach, the green and yellow of the vegetation covering the slopes behind the beach, and a sky that is part cloudy and part blue. Temperatures were cool and a steady wind kept the day even cooler. The Pacific Ocean rolls in on the left. Waves were generally gentle throughout the weekend. The purpose of this image is in part to provide interested viewers with a snapshot of conditions should they be considering a visit to the area. Other resources for visitors include updated web camera images from the National Park Service and forecasts from the National Weather Service. The most important information for visitors is an understanding of the tide, as this area is inaccessible during times of higher tides.
