Oak Harbor Beach Erosion



Recent very high tides and southerly winds have eroded the beach at Windjammer Park on Oak Harbor Bay. All the supports for the wind breaks used to be on solid ground. Now the southern most ones are surrounded by driftwood.

Winter Wind Storm

West winds of 35 mph created great waves at Sunset Beach yesterday. Sea foam on my clothes, sand in my eyes and mouth, what more could a native Whidbey Islander want?
Stormy days like yesterday show why the attempt to make waterfront lots on this part of the beach did not work. All that remains are broken pieces of concrete.

Oak Harbor Sunrise

January 9 sunrise on Scenic Heights and the Olympics from the east side of Oak Harbor. I was at the Sno-Isle Library parking lot for this view.
