11/11/18 Report - Thanks Vets! Little Cutting on The Treasure Coast Beaches as Front Passed Through. Hurricane Map Active Again.

John Brooks Beach Sunday Afternoon.

We had a little front come through yesterday.  It seems like we've had five or six fronts over recent months that have done about the same thing.  When the front comes through and the wind come from the north/northeast and we get a little cutting, but then as the front passes, the wind changes and that is the end to that.  The sand starts filling again.  One or two tidal cycles of north winds and cutting is about all we've been getting.  You check the wind patterns on Ventusky.com.  It is really helpful.

There was a fellow metal detecting at John Brooks.  You can see him in the wet sand in the above photo.

Here is how it looked yesterday and into this morning when we were getting a northeast wind and when a little new cutting occurred.

If you want to see the progression, check Ventusky.  You can pretty much tell when there is a possibility of cutting.

The sand in front of the cuts is mushy until you get close to the water.

Frederick Douglass Beach Sunday Afternoon.

\The cutting was a bit smaller at Frederick Douglass Beach.  You can see that above.

It was still too warm on the beach for my liking.  The snow birds are arriving.

Up north the leaves change color in the Fall.  In Florida the license plates change color.

Surf At Frederick Douglass Sunday Afternoon.

What I wanted to show with this photo is the brown water where the surf was breaking and picking up the sand.  That doesn't show though.  You could see where it was washing up onto the beach after the cutting occurred.

Although hurricane season is almost over, there is some activity on the National Hurricane Center map.

As you can see, the system is east of the West Indies.  It has a less than 40% chance of becoming a cyclone in the next forty-eight hours.  If it continues to develop, there is a good chance that it comes toward us.  Right now it is too early to tell what will happen.

The surf is not going to get much higher tomorrow - just a touch.

Don't expect the beach detecting conditions to improve much any time real soon.

Once again,
Thanks vets!
