This beautiful morning after the weekend storm shows a flattened beach and a shallow bar offshore. The waves at high tide caused slumping of the dunes and littered the beach with seaweed and huge amounts of fishing gear. New additions to my collection include three fishing floats and a huge fishing ball to make a perfect ball swing.
Winds out of the northeast today bring in warm surface waters and large waves for the weekend. Good things come to those who wait.
Small clean waves and a golden sunrise reward early risers today. Expect cooler conditions than yesterday as the surface water moves out to sea. 
A cold morning and a west wind challenge us to suit up and charge the waves. After gathering oysters at low tide, the air has warmed up enough to get me in the ocean.
Swells coming in and wind going out make a perfect combination. The strong wind plays a factor in catching some of these waves. White crest's high dunes block some of this frustrating wind. Most surfers came here today.
Chilly waist high waves after the storm cannot deter our local surfers from an evening in the water. The frost on the ground this morning usually an end to my outdoor activities. But surf like this makes me think about a new winter wetsuit.
