I have heard (and someone else will have to confirm or deny it) that the
ocean right off the point is deeper than in most places along the coast.
Don't know if that is true, how deep it is supposed to be, or how far out
it is before the deeper water starts.

Does anyone know why Boiler Bay is such a good seabird viewing spot? The
overlook sticks out, oh, fifty yards, and that stretch of coast is nothing
special to look at. Yet I have seen perfectly ridiculous things there. 29
Sabine’s Gulls cruising by in one hour. Multiple viewings of both Leach’s
and Ft Storm-Petrel with binos. Buller’s Shearwaters. Fulmars floating in
the weeds. Other people have seen albatrosses, Scripps Murrlet so close it
could be photographed, distant Mottled Petrels etc.
The only other place in Oregon that I have had similar, but not as good,
action is Cape Arago, and it is not as consistent.
What is it, upwellings of good smells?
