There's a distinct horizon of clasts that seem to be weathering out differently than the rocks above. It could be a Holocene storm when sea level was a little bit higher. Rocks above it and behind it are very different weathering profile.

    Returning to the west side, there's a lot of energy in large waves today. It's clear that the beach has filled up since we got here. We're measuring at GPS point. We got the topmost sand that seems like it was recently placed. Almost five meters higher than the tidal datum. It's really impressive how much sand can move in and out just a few days. Without hurricanes, it's not even raining. It's just large waves coming off the southwest side today.
