Very still atmosphere. A stretch of mechanically-dumped sand was observed, placed to consolidate the beach of Mounts Bay in the vicinity of Marengo.

The condition of the car park at the bridge opposite the campground is in poor condition. Added to previous debris-dumps from the campground, there now exists a large mulch pile to further restrict parking and public access.
