[Trez]

Don't bother coming down..........
Nothing is happening to the beaches......
More sand is coming in....more than what was trucked in over the last ten years.
So don't waste your gas or time.............

Thanks for the info. I was considering driving over but now I think I'll wait a day or two. The news said the beaches were getting pounded and I got all excited - sheeesh. Keep us posted!

The Weather channel at 2 CDT did a live update from Hutchinson Island. The reporter was just north of the Nieves site and the sand cut was 5 feet at least. Probably wont even need a detector if you know what your looking for. But the water was very dangerous. She was almost swept off her feet at one point during the interview. They are predicting the storm will skirt Florida on Friday. Man hate being 1,400 miles away. Ohh well still have the summer.

Yes, Trez was being facetious. Grab your gear and c'mon down-plenty of beach for all of us!

Rough surf, winds close beaches in Indian River County

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Public beaches at the Sebastian Inlet State Park and in Indian River County are closed to swimming, due to rough surf and winds, officials said Tuesday morning.

At county beaches, winds are blowing 20 mph, with gusts to 35 mph, said county lifeguard captain John Frazier. So far, Frazier isn't seeing any erosion, but water has cut into the shoreline on the south side of the Sebastian Inlet, leaving a seven-foot-tall cliff, said park Manager Ron John.

Boating conditions in the park's inlet to the ocean "are extremely hazardous," John said.

According to Frazier, beach conditions could worsen later in the week as the off-shore storm moves north.

Bathtub Beach being battered by waves; Martin's public beaches closed

Martin County Marine Safety Chief Joe Kostygan on Tuesday said there has been significant erosion at the county's Bathtub Beach.

"It is as bad as it was after hurricane Frances and Jeanne" with about five feet of sand lost along the beachfront. "It is shallow there and the beach facilities are close to the water. Once you have giant waves" erosion occurs, undermining decking.

He expects further damage when the next high tide comes in.

Also, public beaches are closed to swimming. “There is giant surf. There is nothing you would want to swim in. It is big and nasty.”

Is it time to call in the 1715 shipwreck party members? This could be our best chance so far! Who is going?

Before I drive 2.5 hours to the east coast, I want to know if the beach parking gates are still open. I still remember when the county closed all beach access from Melbourne to St. Lucie County during the 2004 Hurricane season. There has got to be a local down there who will be honest enough to keep us posted. There is a lot of beach there and you could spend your life down there everyday and never cover it all.
Thanks!

I agree that there is plenty of beach for everyone. Plus it is safer to be with a partner or two in rough weather conditions. We are all brothers in this endeavour!

Keep us informed please...

Thanks.

I dont live on the Treasure Coast but here is an article from the area's news. It appears that Palm Beach and south is being hit the hardest so far. http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2007/oct/31/beach-erosion-treasure-coast/

"Not as bad as I though it would be" said Jerry Walters, 76, left, about the erosion while walking with his wife Marilyn past the Island Dunes condominiums during low tide at St. Lucie County's Normandy Beach access on North A1A on Hutchinson Island early Wednesday morning. High wind gusts and bursts of vertical rain pounded the beaches along the Treasure Coast from the approaching Tropical Storm Noel.
