Edit -- needed to clarify that :lol: this is not REAL news. Just what I got from a nurse who lives on the west end.

Dude- Our beach is gone- The water is up to the geotubes! The surf is waist to chest high and building


Is it really affecting us already????

Nevermind. I do believe it.

Don't know what golter was saying "no" about or what deleted post he was talking about.

The "Surf Cam" webcam shows the tide much higher than usual and two Beach Patrol guys in trucks on the jetty, probably keeping an eye on swimmers and surfers (rip currents most likely).

The west end is not protected by the Seawall so I'm sure they're going to deal with some flooding (advisories have already been sent). I was just surprised that it was happening already.
