The only thing better than a day at Wreck is a weekday at Wreck! I had never walked the foreshore trail to Trail 7 until I went to meet Raelynn, who was was at Oasis. Like you, I was the only nudie, but then I only saw about half a dozen others. I usually walk in from Trail 4 because I like the little hike along the beach.
I don't think it would be necessary or possible to enforce nudity. However, if the signs said "nude beach ahead," instead of "clothing optional beach ahead," it would make it clear that nudity is more expected. I liken it to the "off-leash dog area": nobody will complain if you take your leashed dog, but the expectation is that your dog will not be leashed. I also believe that if the beach were "nude" then there would be fewer safety concerns, as those seem to ratchet up later in the day when the beach gets more crowded and more textile.
I've not seen as many of those little groups of oglers this year. Last year, a couple of us addressed several of the groups directly. TBH, I think I could have chosen a better way, but then so could they!
this is what Imagen 3 thinks of me at #wreckbeach

I do have a floral dress like this (in blue) and the view at Wreck is amazing! (the beach, LOL). there's all kinds of bodies there so it's also a great space to practice and affirm body positivity.
Missing this beach and cannot go due to it being closed (another post mentions why with CW)
