Wave Action

Are you getting a lot of wave action today from Rita?
Looking at Destincam.com, it appears so.

This morning, the waves were about 5'-6'. Streaks of occasionaly hard rain all along the Gulf.

Just received this from Seagrove Beach:

WATER IS CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With Hurricane Rita churning just of the coast, the Gulf is extremely

rough. This may look like great time for body surfing and boogie

boarding to visitors who are checking in. We have double red flags

flying and there are extremely dangerous rip currents.

TWC was talking about the rip currents last night along the Panhandle...stay out of the water!!!!

A few more photos available here for registered users. Local surfers are guessing that the wave action peaked late this afternoon. There are a few big pieces of debris floating around, and that has kept many smarter surfers out of the water. Wave action was greater this morning than this evening. These photos were taken after 5pm today.

I can almost feel the spray of the ocean and even smell it.
Thank you so much.

Down our way...near Eastern Lake...the surf is depositing lots of sand on the shore.

In the photo above, the water washed away about 15 horizontal feet of sand in the hour prior to the photo being taken.

How's the weather down there? Do we need to come down and check things out? Do you think our walkover will need repairing (for the second time this month)?

Thanks to anyone who can answer this. I love you guys/gals and this board.
