You can see the geyser front center) at Fort Pierce in the above photo. You can also see the caterpillar spreading the pumped in sand.  Below is another photo showing the same water spout.

The photo shows how the rough surf that began later Sunday.  The water was hitting the foot of the bank at high tide.  

The beach cams are handy because you get the same angles and views so you can see how things are developing. Another shot of this beach in the afternoon showed no developing cuts here even though the surf remained rough all day.

The angles were not good for creating cuts at this location.

If you check other beaches

After looking at a variety of beach views Sunday besides those shown here today, I saw no cuts at all.

The waves were hitting the Treasure Coast directly from the east.

Here is a new beach cam that some of you might find helpful.  It is from the Ocean Beach Resort, which is in the Vero Beach shopping area north of Rio Mar.  The area also produces some cobs.  Rio Mar is a well known shipwreck beach and cobs have been found there is the past from there and north through Jaycee Park.

I just found the Ocean Reef Resort web cam, so that is a new one for me.  It allows checking out another area of the beach.

Here is the link.

It seem more seaweed is showing up on the beaches.  That isn't a great sign.  It is an indication that the incoming water is greater than the backswash so light materials are building on the beach.

You can also see the pipes for the renourishment project in that view.  So, Sebastian, Fort Pierce and Jensen area beaches are all being renourished at this time.

To sum it up, I saw no cutting to any of the Treasure Coast beaches.  There could be some somewhere, but I haven't seen it yet.

One nice thing about cutting is the resulting coin concentrations.

The Surf Chart shows the surf decreased for the next couple of days.

Maybe some new find photos will be coming in.
