Recent drops, that's what we're looking for in the summer. With all this soft sand the best time to look for them is during the height of the activity or when low tide comes later in the afternoon, just as the crowds are starting leave. It only takes one tide change to stir up all that soft sand and send everything straight into Davey Jone's locker. Got to get to it before then if it's on the lower beach or in the water. The only other option is to try to locate those areas that are starting to open up, not closing in. Newly formed/forming low spots in the way of washes, holes, troughs, runnels, etc., that are forming or have recently formed will be far more promising then those same areas that are growing smaller and slowly closing up and/or filling in. Unless we can get some significant wave/current action things are going to remain pretty slow.
