| John Brooks Beach Sunday Morning. |
Today I got out to the beach. The past couple of days I had other things I had to do. If you've been reading my daily posts, you know about that.
I could see that sometime, either Friday or Saturday, John Brooks beach lost a good bit of sand. There was a three- or four-foot cut. Today, though, as you can see from the photos, the slope was covered by seaweed. That indicates that the beach was refilling. There was a nice flat area in front of the beach at low tide. I didn't have time to check it today.

You can see a thin layer towards the bottom of the cut.

It has been quite a while since I saw that much seaweed on the beach.

| Frederick Douglass Beach Sunday Morning. |
Frederick Douglass beach was similar to John Brooks, but it looks like it was not cut as nicely.

After the first day or so, the north winds shifted and now it seems like the waves are hitting E/SE.
A few days ago I did some detecting and was following an old line that was almost uncovered by recent sand loss. I planned on talking about that but didn't get around to it yet. I'll plan a post on lines at various levels.
There are sometimes old coin lines that have been overed for a while and then recent sand loss will bring them into detecting range. It works very much like a regular coin line, except it is older and sometimes deeper.
The tides are a little more moderate. We are not getting negative tides now, and the high tides are not as high.
It does look like we can get another bump in the surf in a few days.

Hopefully we do get the predicted eight foot surf.
There are a few of the secondary beaches that are down some now. They need a little more help.
Good hunting,
