The surf predictions have decreased a little, but the Treasure Coast is still expected to get some good surf for a few days.
Unfortunately, it looks like the wind will continue from the east for just as long.

Archaeologists have unearthed vast quantities of coins, pearls, and hairpins under the floors of medieval churches throughout Scandinavia.
More than 20,000 coins have been found in Norway alone, half of which date to between 1180 CE and 1320 CE.
Norway was likely home to thousands of wooden churches in the Middle Ages, known as stave churches. Twenty-eight of them have been preserved to this day and a few hundred other churches with roots in medieval times have also survived.
More than 100,000 coins discovered so far
Archaeologists in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark have all made similar discoveries of a great numbers of coins and other objects under wooden church floors.

Here is a question to think about.
Which of the following has more to do with how quickly or deep an object will sink on a beach?
a. the objects's weight, or
b. the objects shape.
I won't give the answer yet. I'll give you time to think about it.
Happy hunting,
