Cannon Beach Oregon ... Sunday 1030m 07Feb2010. Temp - 50. Sunrise 731a. Sunset 529p. Sunday is just that - a beautiful sunny day. I had to remove my jacket on my bike ride back from Hug Point. I didn't get wet today, but that can't be said for Dave who I met at the old stage coach road cut out of solid rock at Hug Point. Photo #3 shows the wave just before it came over the road and wet Dave to the knees. Even though it was very close to low tide, there was still a lot of wave action and not a lot of beach. Photos #1 and #3 are of the same section of road but from opposite directions. I have not been able to find the name of the rock in photo#2, so may have to name it myself. Any suggestions? It is quite unusual in that the color is unlike almost all the other rocks in the area. It is located between Humbug Point (Lion Rock) and Hug Point. Speaking of Humbug Point, there is a large landslide on the north side. A section about 50' wide is barren of vegetation all the way from the top. All the vegetation is piled up at the bottom and still quite green. For today's surf shot go to the SurfCam page. There, you will also find today's photo and surf report from Mark Mekenes of Cannon Beach Surf. .. George
