The whole tidal range yesterday afternoon was only about three feet. It didn't go down very far, and then started coming back in. Almost no wrack, certainly no heaps of kelp. As the tide returned it began to leave a scatter of small smooth wood in some places, then wash over it and move it up the beach. In most places, the beach still clean-swept.

We were surprised at the small range on Christmas day reported in the San Diego newspaper tide table. Looking at http://www.saltwatertides.com, I now see that indeed Christmas was a neap tide day, and only five days out from apogee to boot.
