| Pile of New Sand on John Brooks Beach Near Low Tide on 1/27 |
I took a look at John Brooks This morning near low tide and found a big pile of new sand on the beach front. That is what I expected, having earelier looked at a beach cam that showed some slow small swells coming onto the beach. If you are a shell hunter, you might enjoy it even though John Brooks doesn't seem to have any real interesting shells.
I was remembering this morning a time years ago when you could find pot holes right in front of the beach. Now it is very sandy.
It will take more than the small swells we are predicted to have to move much of this newly accumulated sand.
DJ sent photos of some of the other South Hutchinson Island beaches. I think they are from this morning.

At Turtle Trail the cuts were gone and just a bit of a few bags were showing. Just a slight bit of scalloping.
My Treasure Coast Treasure Beach Metal Detecting Rating is now a 1. As I've explained in the past, my lowest beach conditions rating is a 1, not a zero, because there is always a chance. The productive areas become fewer and smaller when overall conditions are not good, but you may still be able to find some small isolated areas created by local conditions. One thing you might consider if you have a lot of time to spend is doing some scouting for those kinds of places. I discussed that type of thing several times in the past. Remember, when the sand is building in one place, it is leaving another.
I don't expect much improvement in beach conditions in the next few days.
