One Treasure Coast Beach This Morning

The seas have calmed down.  The waves are smaller and the water is not getting up as high as it did a few days ago.  I'm reducing my Treasure Coast Beach Detecting Conditions Rating back to a 1 (poor).

Small Scallop On Front Beach.

There were some scallops on the front beach and a few tiny cuts.  See above.

It was pretty mushy except down near the water line.

Since the wind has calmed down, the Magruder and Dare crews will be working on the Atocha wreck site.

An eighteenth century cannon was found in a turning basin at Miami.   In 1919 a number of cannons were found in the same area.

Thanks to Jorge Y. for the link.

The swells are back down to around two or three feet and are predicted to stay that way for a week or so, so don't be expecting any significant change in beach conditions for a while.


Happy hunting,
