Let’s see what we can see. By August our coastal waters have become slightly warmer and the current has brought in salty deep-sea water along with its krill, anchovies, squid, albacore, jellies, and possible sighting of leatherback sea turtles. Typically the humpback whales follow the current, and breach and “play” nearer shore. We might even see a 30 foot blow from a blue whale.

The warmer days of summer have taken their toll on many of the plants and grasses of the bluff. Many of the plants have either died back or have gone dormant. However, some of our bluff plants survived the summer heat, and even seem to thrive as summer ends. It is a great time to see some of these late summer plants, including Sea-cliff Buckwheat, gumplant, “Ocean Loco Weed”, seaside daisies, and probably a few poppies.
