| Wave Crashes at Foot of Treasure Coast Beach at John This Morning. |
I went out to the beach to see what was going on. The beach had no cuts, which is what I was expecting. Although I could see that the water had been fairly high on the beach, it did not reach the dunes anywhere that I was.
The only surprise was that the surf was smaller than I expected this morning. The above photo just happened to catch a good moment.
I saw no cuts on the beaches on the north end of South Hutchinson Island. As you'll see in my photos, the waves were running parallel to the beaches. There was no angle at all.

At both John Brooks and Frederick Douglass, the slope was mushy.
I then went south to Walton Rocks.

There were a few surfers at Walton Rocks this morning, but it seemed like they were mostly leaving.

There was one couple with a metal detector and a tent like shelter. Otherwise, I saw no detectorists this morning.

So I saw no cuts this morning on South Hutchinson Island. I didn't see any of the beaches in Indian River County, so maybe someone can send a few photos from there, but I would expect more of the same. There could still be some good hunting spots out there.
South Hutchinson Island is being developed. It looks like there will be new housing all along the beach. Pretty soon there will be little open beach other than the parks. It has changed a lot.
Blind Creek park is undergoing a lot of construction and the main entrance is still closed.

So Erin is continuing north and away from us. It looks like the next system will stay out to sea too.

Nothing real promising in the near future. That means you'll have to work a little harder and hunt it out.
Good hunting,
