Re: Coastal trof developing east of Florida / strong gradient with nor'easter conditions

Follow-up from this morning's surf "session"...

Even though wind was light and surface conditions were glassy, the long shore drift from north to south has dramatically increased, and breaking waves are now 2-3' on the beach with larger sets breaking on the outside sandbar. This morning's high tide ran up several feet above yesterday's morning high tide given the increase in surf size combined with lunar cycle contribution which will peak tomorrow morning and again Saturday morning.

There was quite a bit of new (tagged and unused) lumber (6x6' posts and 6"x12' boards) in the surf from the stash left on the beach to rebuild a dune crossover to the north. Volusia County Coastal division has yet to pull their trash cans off the beach, which will probably become additional flotsam on the ensuing high tides as the onshore flow ramps up.

Thar she blows... just heard thunder (11:20 am) from a cluster of heavy showers 5-10 miles north up the coast that are lingering over Ormond Beach-Daytona Beach. Wind here in DBS is still fairly light... 5-10 mph from the north.
