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