Can anybody tell me what the beach looks like at?

Close to or near the Monterey property at Secrest? Have the lakes made the water brown down that way?
I would really appreciate it.

The water was nice last weekend. The tannin from the lake is not to bad right now. There is a strong South breeze rolling in and pushing water back into the lakes. What are your travel dates? The weather forecast for next week looks great!

We were at Seagrove tonight. The water is more brown than I've seen it since we have lived here (1 year). If it had been calmer (red flags!) we would have swam- it's brown but didn't appear to have much seaweed in it. It was really warm too.
The beach is quite a mess though- does anyone know if nature will be allowed to take her way or if local authorities will bring in sand? The beach is very black and has huge rocky sections along the shore. We took a bag down to gather trash but didn't find as much as expected- we thought the storm would have washed up a lot. We had a great time..... We were just glad it wasn't raining!!!!! Several people stopped to ask if we knew any info.

Thank you for doing the trash pickup thing! If everyone were like you that would be so great.

Seagrove has some areas where the remains of ancient mangrove swamps lie just under the surface of the sands. The storm rearranged enough sand so the black outcrops were where some of those old root systems now turned to peat are sticking through.

Coming down tomorrow, hoping there is some sand left on the beach.

The beaches are gorgeous!!! We spent a few hours at Deer Lake State Park on Monday and got in trouble with park ranger for leaving after dark (parks close at sunset). It was just too beautiful to leave.

There is no shortage of sand. In fact, I think there was actually a net gain of sand at Seaside. Water is turbid as the lakes are open and red flags for the last few days.

That's the kind of erosion I like!

There was a gain of sand around our place near Eastern Lake as well.

When could we expect the water to come back with a little clarity? My luck, by the time we leave next Friday.

I'm predicting the clarity will be fine. The forecast is calling for mostly sunny skies and a north breeze for the start of next week. We were out a couple of weeks ago and the north breeze pushed all of the tannin away from the shore. The good thing is, no rain in the forecast for next week. Safe travels and have a good one!
