Beach Conditions

[rblessed1031]

I am used to getting my beach fix from the beach cam, but it appears to still be down. Can one of you run out and get the tent off of it? Just kidding.

Really, can you describe current beach conditions? Is there still the June grass or are we back to the beautiful beach/water conditions that we know and love?:roll:

hi~i just got back from my walk at the beach and the june grass ...sorry to say...is really bad...but it is good for the beach(not so good for the people on vacation).
i had to walk away from the shoreline because it was so thick.

oh...forgot to say ...i was walking at dune allen beach.

Well, that's a little disappointing - particularly since I'll be down there this weekend. I had hoped it would move out by then. Guess I'll just drive up and down the beach until I find a clear spot and set up camp there.

I just talked with some folks at Watersound (where will be next week) and they described it as heavy.

Thank you for the update. Maybe it is better that the webcam is down.

Thank you for the update. Maybe it is better that the webcam is down.

if you do a beach cam search you should have more to choose from.

In PCB it looks like the typical seaweed, but I don't think I see a lot of June grass. Maybe somebody with a better trained eye can tell. The folks on the beach appear to be happy.

I didn't go to the beach today, but yesterday, the Gulf was pea soup, then cleared off to pea broth conditions by mid-afternoon (water looked clearer, but June grass still very visible).

The water seems almost cold- which seems odd for mid-July. It is very refreshing!

The wind was coming outof the north yesterday, so the black flies showed up for the first time all summer. An annoyance, but nothing to ruin the day. Bring a flyswatter. I just checked the weather website, and wind today is ENE.
