John Brooks Beach This Morning.

This is what the surf looked like this morning.  It was rough.  

As you can see below the water had been high last night.  Lots of sea weed and the slope was very mushy.

Frederick Douglass Beach was very similar to John Brooks Beach.  There was, however, a little more scalloping.

Going by what I saw at these two beaches, there was no significant erosion yet.

The waves were still hitting the beach straight on.

Tropical Storm Leslie is still out there and expected to become a hurricane.  Unlike yesterday's predictions, it does not now show the track to the north.  It just seems to be wobbling around out there.

Ventusky.com shows Leslie hanging around until the end of next week before heading north again.
Unfortunately, it looks like we'll be getting nothing but east winds.

The surf predictions have changed very little since yesterday.  We're supposed to get five to eight feet later today.

Happy hunting,

The surf predictions have decreased a little, but the Treasure Coast  is still expected to get some good surf for a few days.

Unfortunately, it looks like the wind will continue from the east for just as long.

A nice breeze started today.

Archaeologists have unearthed vast quantities of coins, pearls, and hairpins under the floors of medieval churches throughout Scandinavia.

More than 20,000 coins have been found in Norway alone, half of which date to between 1180 CE and 1320 CE.

Norway was likely home to thousands of wooden churches in the Middle Ages, known as stave churches. Twenty-eight of them have been preserved to this day and a few hundred other churches with roots in medieval times have also survived.

More than 100,000 coins discovered so far

Archaeologists in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark have all made similar discoveries of a great numbers of coins and other objects under wooden church floors.

Here is the link for more about that.

Here is a question to think about.

Which of the following has more to do with how quickly or deep an object will sink on a beach?

a.  the objects's weight, or

b. the objects shape.

I won't give the answer yet.  I'll give you time to think about it.

Happy hunting,
