The surf looks worse than yesterday. Yippee, I know that the point was looking pretty rough when they showed clips on the news. Hopefully they will come out okay. The waves here on 30A are lapping at the base of the dunes as well. I noticed that the TDC was on the news last night with a cheery everything is okay attitude, but this is not over and the waves will probably last thru tomorrow.
 
Not too bad, about $150 with airline reschedule and share of condo deposit - that's why I'm thinking I might ought to look at coming in October instead...

I personally wouldn't even think of going there for a beach vacation this week. It's a nice area, but without the beach and with what will probably be a lot of red flag days, I'd reschedule if I were you. I'm all for supporting a local economy, but we were there during a week of bad weather and red flags. I can eat at fine restaurants in NYC and ride my bike around my house...it was a real bummer to be on a beach vacation and not go into the ocean once:blink:.

Hey Little Miss Sunshine...how the heck have you been? :wave:

I just realized she left today for her vacation. I hope the weather is good and it's clear waters.

My vaca basically sucked. Rain and red flags for the majority of the time. We came home feeling like we didn't even go on vacation. YOu can only pretend to have fun in the rain for so long until it really gets old :(
 
She should be fine, that surf was dieing down tonight.

This morning, the surge has largely retreated and we have a beach again. The waves are still too big to go in (red flags still out), but the Destin Surf Report is calling for only 2 foot swells by Tuesday. If they are coming for a week, they'll have lots of nice beach days this week.
