6/13/26 Report - Silver Bar Found. Strong El Nino This Year. 10% Off Sedwick Online Store. Good Low Tide and Flat Surf.

 


Silver Bar Recently Recovered
 from Atocha Site by the crew of the Dare.


Mel Fisher's Shipwreck Expeditions has recovered a 22.5-pound silver bar from the Nuestra Señora de Atocha wreck site off the Florida Keys—the first silver bar recovered from the site since 1999. There may be more silver bars near where this one was found.

Recovered by Captain Drake and the crew of the DARE in approximately 50 feet of water, this incredible discovery is a reminder that the Atocha still holds secrets waiting to be uncovered more than 400 years after she sank in 1622.

The silver bar is now headed to our conservation lab in Key West, where experts will begin documenting and preserving this remarkable piece of history...

This year's brewing El Niño will likely become the strongest ever recorded, a new forecast warns.

New predictions by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) suggest sea surface temperatures in a key region of the central equatorial Pacific Ocean will climb 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) above average by December of this year, with some scenarios showing they could go above 7.2 F (4 C).

For more about that.

Historically, El Niño tends to reduce the number of strong (Category 3 or higher) hurricanes in the Atlantic basin, but it does not eliminate the risk entirely.

The VeroBeachCam.com site, as of Saturday morning, is currently not running.


I've been asked many times why the camera at the Turtle Trail access is not available for public viewing on the web.


Surf Chart from SurfGuru.com.

You'll never see the surf chart look any flatter than that.


I noticed a good low tide on the Indian River in the afternoon yesterday.  The afternoon low tide around the Fort Pierce area today is predicted to be a -.85.  That is a good low tide.  I've been waiting for that, but it was very hot at the same time.


You might want to get out early or late to avoid the peak heat of the day.


I've been informed of a new online AI metal detecting site research tool that combines several types of data to give you a score on how good various sites are.  I looked into it a little so far, and plan to look into it a little more.  I plan to have my impressions on that for you soon.


Good hunting,
