Look at that. The predictions show an 8 - 12 foot surf for Monday. If the predictions are correct, the surf will start building Sunday.
Late tonight the wind will change and we'll be getting a north wind Saturday, but the surf won't be up yet.

It is Teddy that is going to bring us the high surf. The others won't affect us much.
Too bad Twenty-Two will drop more rain on the already beaten and soaked Gulf Coast.

Notice the wind sweeping in from the Northeast. That is when the high surf is predicted.
Keep watching.

The wreckage of a German warship that was struck by a British torpedo in 1940 has been discovered off the coast or Norway. Power grid operator Statnett said the cruiser Karlsruhe was identified more than 1,600 feet underwater from sonar images.Launched in 1927, the 571-foot ship led the attack on the southern Norwegian port of Kristiansand during the invasion of Norway on April 9, 1940. With nine cannons and three triple turrets, it was "the largest and most fearsome ship in the attack group," Statnett said...
Here is a short section of a book preface.
Mark has hunted in rock pits, on spoil piles, and along beaches. But his greatest finds have been in flowing water - coins uncovered by the swirling erosion of streams and rivers. He sets aside fear and explores the murky depths of a river bottom hole because he knows that is where the swift water slows and drops some of its burden...
I actually changed one word - the red one. The word before I changed it was actually "fossils." I changed that word to make a point.
First, the book is Fossiling in Florida: A Guide for Diggers and Divers, by Mark Renz.
The point I was making is that hunting fossils is very much like hunting coins in many respects. And it is very much like hunting gold nuggets and gems and other things. There are principles that apply to many different kinds of hunting. No matter what you are hunting, if it has been out there in the world for a while and exposed to the forces of nature, it helps to know how those forces work and how things get distributed.
When I talk about the principles of sedimentation and how objects are moved by water, it doesn't matter what the object is, the density of the object and the shape of the object and the force of water are factors that help determine where the object will end up and therefore be found.
There is knowledge that is very specific to a particular situation, such as the location of a particular shipwreck, and there is knowledge that is general and applies across many fields and types of activities. The general knowledge of physical principles and science apply to many situations but have to be understood and applied correctly to the specific situation. That is the kind of knowledge I present when I discuss things like trigger points and erosion.
So when I am talking about fossils, for example, you might not be much interested in fossils, but very often you'll learn something from fossiling that applies to your type of treasure hunting. The same general principles apply around the world and in different situations.
If you know how to find gold nuggets in stream beds, you'll have knowledge that will help you find treasure coins on the beach or in the water. When you find a piece of specific information, such as this or that spot is good, if you understand why it is good then you'll be able to find more good spots. Chance in this world only occurs when you don't understand the relevant physical principles. When you hit treasure or strike out, always ask yourself why and seek to understand more about what was going on.
