| Turtle Trail From Beach Access Area Friday Morning. |
It was a pretty windy rainy day - the kind I always liked.
I hadn't been up to the Indian River beaches for quite some time and decided today to take a look. I first stopped at Turtle Trail and then went to Wabasso.
Below you can see some of the photos I took of those beaches this morning (Friday).

| Far South of Turtle Trail Access Friday Morning. |
Tons of renourishment sand remains. The dune faces were still covered by renourishment sand.
The erosion control bags remained deeply buried. No signs of them at all.
 |
| North of Turtle Trail Access Friday Morning. |
Not much to see here other than sand.
I went to Wabasso next.
 |
| Down by the Bend South of the Disney Resort Friday Morning. |
This stretch of beach was pretty much the same all the way along, from the Wabasso parking lot area down to the big bend to the south of the Disney resort.

| Wabasso Beach Friday Morning. |
Like Turtle Trail, tons of renourishment sand.
I didn't see many detectorist out this morning. Just one at Turtle Trail and one at Wabasso.
I did a little sampling, and it seemed that targets at both of those beaches were few and far between.
When the water goes down some, we'll be able to check some of the low spots and get a little farther out.
I gave you a list of Treasure Coast beach cam links the past couple of days so you can check around to see where you might want to go, but, of course, you can tell more about a beach when you are actually there see it in person.
There is still a lot of activity in the Atlantic to affect our beaches.

That yellow area is a depression that is affecting our weather right now. We still have some pretty high surf predicted for tomorrow, but there is also another system coming that might help us.

The wind and surf is predicted to be coming from the east almost entirely. I'd really like to see some better angles. As it is, you really have to hunt around for the better spots.
As you can see, the surf tomorrow will still be pretty big, then will slowly decrease. Five to six feet isn't bad by itself, but the other factors aren't helping.
We'll have to wait to see if the next system will help us at all.
I recently added a few bottles to my TGBottleBarn.blogspot.com site.
Good hunting,
