10/27/23 Report - Vero Area Beaches Reduced but Still Holding Renourishment Sand. Bigger Surf Coming.

 

Written by the TreasureGuide for the exclusive use of the Treasure Beaches Report.


Wabasso Friday Afternoon.

I had an appointment in the Vero area this afternoon, so I got a chance to look at a couple of the beaches.

Above you can see Wabasso, and in the distance, the Disney Resort.

There is still a good amount of renourishment sand on the beach, even though a lot of it has been washed out into the water.

A good number of snow birds and tourists are back.  That, of course, helps beach detecting and gives you more modern targets.

Down at Turtle Trail, the situation was similar.

The renourishment sand is still protecting the dunes and much of the beach.

I saw a few detectorists down at Turtle Trail.

Seems like it has been a long time since I last visited Turtle Trail.   I haven't detected much anywhere this year.  I've explained why before.

One thing you'll notice is the seaweed on the beach, which indicates that the beaches are not now losing sand.  Light stuff is moving in and being dropped on the beach.

At Turtle Trail I noticed only a little cloth from one of the erosion control bags.

Tammy just won't die.  She is headed the other way right now but looks like she could circle back.

There is also a little development down by Central America.

A broad area of low pressure has formed over the southwestern 
Caribbean Sea.  Environmental conditions could support some slow 
development of this system during the next several days while it 
moves generally northward.

So it looks like we'll get a couple days of slightly bigger surf and then possibly another bump in the surf next week.
