9/24/17 Report - Bigger Surf Today and Tomorrow on Treasure Coast. Iron and Fossil Finds. Predictions.


Written by the TreasureGuide for the exclusive use of treasurebeachesreport.blogspot.com.

John Brooks Sandy Front Beach Saturday Afternoon.
Yesterday the beach fronts that I saw were built up with sand.  Notice also the sea weed that indicates incoming light materials.

Below is a large old piece of partially encrusted iron that was found on one beach.  It is about four feet long.

According to MagicSeaWeed, Sunday the surf will increase from about 4 -8 feet in the morning up to 7 - 10 feet in the evening.  The wind will be northeast, but the primary swell east.

Yesterday I found a few areas I found where there was erosion to the dune face, but that erosion was not fresh.  While I don't like the direction of the swell tomorrow, the surf will certainly be high enough that something good could happen.

I also found pieces of fossilized bone.

Early this morning John Brooks and Frederick Douglas were only showing more filling.  Nothing goo started to happen there yet.  I don't know about the beaches in the Vero Sebastian area.

There is a piece of modern wreckage on the beach, which you can see in the photo above.  Also big clumps of seaweed.

Maria is east of us and heading north, probably to come closest to North Carolina.

As you can see the surf will increase today and a bit tomorrow.  That is a pretty big surf.

It looks like conditions will be a bit more favorable on Monday.  The wind will be more north and the primary swell more from the northeast.  The surf will be high most of the day if the predictions are correct.

Happy hunting,
