| John Brooks Beach Early Sunday Afternoon. |
The water had been high - I'd say as high as when Dorian was here. At John Brooks beach, there were no cuts despite the high water.

I then looked at Rio Mar. It was not good.

Turtle Trail had filled in some since I was last there. Notice that the erosion control bags are now covered except for a little cloth.
The water had been hitting the dunes during the last high tide.

There were a few detectorists there, which is not unusual for a weekend.
At the access stairs, it looked like an additional half foot of sand was there now.

Again, despite the unusually high water, which was hitting the dunes, there were no cuts and the beach was higher than previously.
We've been getting weather off a storm that has been moving up the coast. Below you can see it.
Tthe Outer Banks had 22 foot waves and coastal erosion. Some of the roads were closed.

As you probably know, the Outer Banks also has some good shipwreck treasure beaches.

The surf will have reached a peak by early tomorrow morning.

At the peak surf, the wind will be west/northwest.
At least the sand is getting stirred up a bit and the dunes are getting cut back a little. If you look around enough, I'm sure you can find some areas that are eroding.
I have some things to clean before I know what they are.
I also have some comments on recent musket ball finds to post.
Happy hunting,
