Today it is all about the weather and this coming weeks beach metal detecting conditions.
As you can see above there is still a lot going on. Beta is still in the Gulf and will probably land in Texas.
Teddy is still predicted to go north towards Bermuda, but will be affecting, but not landing anywhere near, the Treasure Coast.
There is also a small low pressure zone near the Treasure Coast. Here is what the NHC has to say about that.
A small low pressure system is located near a frontal boundary, just off the eastern coast of central Florida. The low is producing a small area of thunderstorms near the coast, and recent buoy and
satellite-derived wind data indicate that gale-force winds are
occurring in the area. The low is expected to move inland over
Florida later this morning, and significant development is not
anticipated.
That won't change things for us much, and I haven't yet seen anything off of that low.
What will affect is Teddy, which will be sending us some nice surf.
As you can see, we are between Beta and Teddy and will be getting some Northeast winds. That should last for a few days.
Below is the wave chart around Teddy for the same time - 5 PM Sunday.
Here is how MagicSeaWeed shows the surf predictions this morning.
Bottom line is we're going to get some good high surf. The wind will pick up around noon Sunday and the primary swell will be from the northeast. According to MagicSeaWeed the primary swell will continue from the northeast for a few days. I'm not sure, however, that the swell will be coming enough from the north to really rip the beaches. In fact, I'm sort of doubing that. And we have a secondary swell that is not so favorable.
One other good thing we have going for us is some higher than usual tides. I'm expecting some nice high water. I'm just hoping that the angles are better than what I'm expecting. I'd like to see the swells coming more from the north, but at least we'll get some good high water.

Thermal drones or unmanned aircraft outfitted with thermal cameras can help you spot temperature differences. For instance, thermal drones are used by firemen to identify hotspots in burning structures. Search and Rescue crews use the unmanned aircraft to help find missing people. And now, archeologists use them to reveal ancestral sites like this one in Wichita, Kansas.
The principal is pretty straightforward. Things warm up during the day and cool off during the night. A drone that is outfitted with a thermal camera can help identify archaeological structures that are hidden underneath the soil as they respond differently to temperature changes during the day compared to the surrounding area. With a thermal aerial perspective, you can quickly survey a large area and discover archaeological features that are not visible on the surface...
Here is the link for more about that.
