10/26/19 Report - Some Recent Erosion Showing Up On The Treasure Coast. The Ghost Fleet of the Potomac. Tropical Storm Pablo.

John Brooks Beach Saturday Evening Just Before High Tide.


We had some decent surf on later this week and actually got a little erosion and a few small cuts.

My post is late today.  I just got back from the beach.



John Brooks Beach Saturday Evening.

John Brooks beach had slightly more erosion than Frederick Douglas.


North of John Brooks Saturday Evening.

The biggest cuts I saw along that stretch of South Hutchinson Island this evening was up by the condominiums north of John Brooks.

Still, I've seen that area cut about a 100 yards farther back years ago.

As you can see those cuts stretched for a good distance.


Between John Brooks and The Condos To The North Saturday Evening.

Those cuts were three to four feet.



Frederick Douglass Beach Saturday Evening.

Of those three locations, the erosion at Frederick Douglass was the smallest.


Frederick Douglass Beach Saturday Evening.

There were some shells back by the farthest recent high tide mark.

I haven't been to the Sebastian/Vero area lately and have no reports from there yet either.

One of The Many Ships In The Potomac Ghost Fleet.


Douglas sent me a link to a great article about a ghost fleet of around 200 ships sunk in the Potomac.

The article provides a lot of very nice images as well as some good history.

I  think you'll enjoy it.

Here is the link.

Thanks Douglas.

There is one tropical storm in the Atlantic, but it is closer to England than us.

The surf is supposed to be northing more than about three feet for the next few days.

Happy hunting,
