| John Brooks Just Before Low Tide Monday. |
I went out yesterdayu to see how the beaches were developing.
The sand was deeper on the beach than yesterday, and more mushy. On the surface, the sand and shells was finer than the day before too.
The swells were bigger than Sunday too. They were slow (longer period)

You have to look closely to see the swells in this photo. Sorry about that.
You can see by the footprints how soft the sand was on the slope.
The water was hitting the beach straight on. No erosion here.\
Below is a good photo of the slope.

The water had been higher than the day before too.
So let's take a look at what is predicted.

The prediction is for a five to eight foot surf peaking around 9 AM, which is not too far from high tide. That is good, but the swells will be mostly ENE. With the slow period and direction of the swells, I'm not expecting much erosion. However, while I'm not expecting much of an improvement in beach detecting conditions, there could be a few productive areas. Those will be either where the banks get eroded a little by water reaching the dune face, or areas of the beach where the curve presents a good angle to the swells.
Yesterday there was some movement of sand on beach fronts which were at a good angle. It moved from some spots and, of course, to other spots. This wasn't a lot of sand moving, but in areas where the sand was already low, could be significant. So it will help if you know the beach angles, and where the sand is low or built up a lot.
The peak surf will not last long. It is a quickie. I'm not expecting big changes. You'll, as usual, have to be at the right place at the right time, if anything does break lose.

The way things are going, you might think about your living arrangements. Here is one fairly extreme idea.

Of course, there are many other ways to accomplish something similar.

King Charles III could have chosen another kingly name. Here is an excerpt from a cool article on his options and maybe why he chose Charles.
Philip was a nonstarter. Sure, it was Charles' dad's name, but Philip of Greece was just a prince (and prince consort). England's last encounter with a King Philip was when Philip II of Spain technically co-ruled the country with his wife, Queen "Bloody" Mary, in the 16th century. Philip not only abandoned Mary, he tried to come back after she died to take the country from her sister Elizabeth. Beloved Liz the First beat back Philip's Armada; now Charles is going to replace beloved Liz the Second with a King Philip? Unthinkable.
King Arthur! Now there's a name to conjure with. If you felt that the British monarchy is going down in flames anyway, and you may well be the last to lead (in 14 Commonwealth realms, at least,) this is the one you'd choose. In the social media age, of course, you'd have to lean into the memes to make it work: meet only at round tables, appoint a court magician, pull golden Excaliburs out of stones and present them to charities, etc.
Sadly, Charles at 73 is too old and too sensible to play the role of a modern myth. (As for the myth, there's little proof he existed — so Charles would have to be styled as the first official King Arthur. Talk about big boots to fill.)...
