Three More Systems To Watch.

After a very quiet summer, there is now a lot of weather in the Atlantic.  

The most significant thing to watch right now in my opinion is Florence, which has been wobbling.  For a while she was headed west towards the Bahamas.  

The system behind Florence has a 70% chance of becoming a cyclone in the next forty-eight hours.  And then there is another area behind that one to keep an eye on.

It now looks like we could get some big waves next week.

Three to five feet is predicted for this weekend, with seven to eleven feet for next Wednesday.  That could get interesting.  We haven't had waves like that for quite a while.  There is a lot of sand to be moved, but that could do it.

If you are wondering what would cause the high surf, here is how Ventusky shows Florence next Saturday - well north of us, but sending waves our direction.

Notice the other system below that.  There is a lot going on there.

That system is predicted to be near the Dominican Republic the following weekend.

Of course, this is just a prediction, so it might not happen.  But it is worth watching.  We might get some improved beach hunting in the next week or two.

I typed a few paragraphs paragraphs how objects moved on the beach, but lost it somehow.  I'll have to rewrite that to post some time in the near future.


One of Japan’s busiest airports remained closed indefinitely, a day after the strongest typhoon to hit Japan in 25 years flooded a runway, toppled huge cranes, flipped cars on their side, damaged historic shrines and caused at least 11 deaths as it swept across part of Japan’s main island.

Typhoon Jebi came ashore with sustained winds of 160 kilometers (100 miles) per hour, cutting a path of destruction in and around Osaka and nearby cities that bore the brunt of the storm...

In recent months, two 150-ton survival bunkers journeyed by land and sea from a Texas warehouse to the shores of New Zealand, where they’re buried 11 feet underground.

Seven Silicon Valley entrepreneurs have purchased bunkers from Rising S Co. and planted them in New Zealand in the past two years, said Gary Lynch, the manufacturer’s general manager. At the first sign of an apocalypse — nuclear war, a killer germ, a French Revolution-style uprising targeting the 1 percent — the Californians plan to hop on a private jet and hunker down, he said...

Looks like all the super-rich are ready to take off and leave us poor suckers behind.

12/5/14 Report - Treasure Coast Beach Conditions Report. Orion Launch, Typhoon. Plaques Washing Up.

Treasure Coast Beach This Morning Just After High Tide

I went out to check the beach this morning just after high tide.  I saw exactly what I was expecting to see.

The beach was back close to what it was a few days ago.  The cut has been fluctuating one way and then another every couple of days.

The problem is that the waves are hitting directly from the East.  The sand and objects falling out of the sand are laying right in front of the cut.  The slope is fairly steep and very mushy.

I did find a number of coins and very little else in front of the cut.  They were spread out several yards apart, but the cut ran for hundreds of yards.

The objects coming out of the sand were most often just two or three yards from the bottom of the cliff.

If the waves were hitting the cliff from a good northerly angle, it would be washing the sand away.  As it is, neither the sand nor the coins are going very far.

You can see some seaweed at spots, such as by the bend in the photo above.

Another View of The Cut This Morning.

The cut was generally about three to four feet.

The coins were being washed out of the sand rather than being washed up. 

The best I can say about the beaches now is that they are transitional.  Based upon the surf and wind predictions, I'm not expecting good conditions for at least a couple of days yet.

The surf is supposed to decrease a small amount until Monday when it is supposed to begin increasing.

The Orion launch that was scheduled for Thursday and cancelled, took place at 4 AM this morning.   It will splashdown in the Pacific.
