DJ sent the following beach report along with these photos.

Checked the beaches today at Turtle Trail. Sand erosion by the wind and a few cuts high up in renourishment sand. Not sure how turtles can dig into that hard pan to lay eggs or how the baby turtles can dig out. Shredded fabric of a few green bags showing and only a few targets, mainly stainless steel.

The other pic is Wabasso south.

Below is what Glen S. saw at Treasure Shores.

It seems they timed a number of beach renourishment projects just in time for Spring Break.

Glen S. said, "Went to Treasure Shores on Friday. It appears they are staging heavy equipment to start beach renourishment. After Treasure Shores I drove up to Bonsteel Beach. Beach renourishment was well underway with only a small section of beach left untouched.

I think that means they are running late on Treasure Shores.  I think they had that project scheduled to be complete and reopened by now.

Add to those two the beach renourishment that is continuing at Fort Pierce South Jetty and in front of the FPL property on South Hutchinson Island.  The FPL area renourishment seems to be centered between the two intake tunnels and does not extend down to the Walton Rocks dog park or north to Blind Beach.

Thanks much to DJ and Glen.

I recently added three bottles to my TGBottlebarn.blogspot.com site.

One was a 3-in-One Oil Company bottle.  You might be surprised to learn that 3-in-one was invented in the 1800s for bicycles.  And, of course, it is still in use today.

The surf is starting small today but will be increasing.  Tomorrow we are now supposed to get a four to six foot surf - not nearly what was predicted a few days ago.  

The Treasure Coast will now be getting some better high tides.

Good hunting,
