The Beach this Morning.

Looks like there might be some beach erosion with this strong wind and swell from the northeast. Video is from Ormond Beach, FL.

very likely! Also, here's a quick feed for a live beach camera just north of you in flagler... Flagler Beach Web Cam | Flagler Surf - A Flagler Beach Webzine

That's a great cam up in Flagler. It would be nice if the Daytona area beaches had some better cams. Something like the Rehoboth Beach HD cam would be good.

Thanks for that video, Fitzwilk.

We could use some of that wave action up here.

Whenever you see that water "cutting across the beach" that's a good thing. :icon_thumleft:

Detected today right where you were filming. Staying just down the beach from there.

I was out this morning just south of the lifeguard HQ in Ormond Beach. Doesn't look like we got much erosion.

Think I saw you down there. Do you have your scoop on a sling? Any luck?

Fitzwilk · Nov 15, 2013

Hey shooter.....that was me. Looks like you did a good grid pattern up there. I dug about three dollars in clad, two junk earrings and a few bottle caps and tabs. I always imagine I'm leaving diamond rings in the gaps of my pattern. :tongue3:

Yeah, nothing but coins, fishing lead, trash and a small piece of a bracelet. I do too.lol! I was impressed at how long you spend in one small area. I can't imagine that you would miss too much. That was my wife the other day who asked you about the sling on your scoop. Wish I would have been close enough to holler at you. Good luck out there.

It's hard to believe that you guys in Florida have any beach left that could erode to uncover stuff that the many hurricanes over the years have already uncovered.

It seems to me a measly strong wind and swell from the northeast would only uncover the sand that was replenished?
