I know that many of you have been cooped up for a long period of time, as good old Mother Nature has thrown just about every winter event at us this winter, but there is still hope.
Now would be a good time to get out and clear those cob webs out of the 'ol think tank. I went over to the beach today and decided to do some scouting and boy is the ocean churned up. The water was brown and full of sand, but the beaches were clean of debris (that is a good thing). Yes the waves are I would guess 6 to 8' this morning and really ripping.
I did notice that the birds were working a little but what I notices was that they were working the cuts. You could see the cuts very clearly if you knew where to look, and see the rip currents meandering out through them.
There was a ENE wind blowing and the tide was almost out. It was a good time to scout. I know it will change but for now what else is there to do. I also checked Seaside Heights and the Seaside Park as well. I now have a good starting point when the weather clears and the seas die down.
Read the article on Reading the Sand and use the tips there to start you off.
