This isn't looking good for the Carolina's.  Of course there is plenty of time left and Florence could fall apart or change course.  Florida could even get it.  But right now it seems to be heading towards the Carolinas.

Also notice all of the other systems scattered around the Atlantic.  Really a lot going on and a lot to be concerned about.

MagicSeaWeed is still predicting a big surf for the Treasure Coast on Wednesday.

It looks like I'll be watching the weather closely for the next couple of weeks.  This summer there was practically nothing going on.

I don't want to see anyone take a direct hit from a major hurricane, but some good erosion would be nice.

Make sure your equipment is in good order and you have good batteries.  The vast majority of beach shipwreck treasure finds are made after storms and rough seas.

Happy hunting,
