| John Brooks This Saturday Morning. |
As you probably know, the wind blew all last night and it rained last night and much of this morning, including when I was out there.
In the photo above, the dark spots in the distance are two surfers. There were some nice big surfing waves this morning.

The cuts you see immediately above are about two feet high most of the way.
There were some cuts at both John Brooks and Frederick Douglass. The highest was about three feet, but most were two feet or less.
Under the white water is a sand bar that extends out twenty or more yards. That is absorbing much fo the wave energy.
While it wasn't long until low tide, there were still waves that hit the bottom of the cut.

Frederick Douglass wasn't very different from John Brooks.

I only saw a very thin occasionally layer of shells in some of the cuts.
My photos could have been better despite the blowing rain. I didn't take time to get good photos because I didn't want my phone to get too wet.
This was the first time I took the Equinox out in this kind of wet weather.
The sand in front of the cuts was still pretty mushy.
Overall, conditions didn't look very promising at these beaches. I don't know about the Vero/Sebastian area.
The surf was supposed to be 5 to 7 feet today, and it did look like it got that big.
Just a few days ago I mentioned this is the time of year when we get some cold fronts coming through and that is what happened.

The surf is supposed to decrease tomorrow, but increase again later next week.
Happy hunting,
