The little west northwest swell is on the beach. It actually looks pretty fun. The surf looks about thigh high. It’s super glassy and fun. There is absolutely no tide today, only the slightest half a foot tide until later today. The conditions won’t fluctuate too much. Morning, afternoon, or night it should be fun. This swell could be a multi-day swell. Surf’s Up!
The manatees on the beach were pretty cool. There was a manatee swimming around. It’s actually been really common to see manatees on the beach in spring, although not but until a few years recently has there been so many. This one breached the water head first with its body trailing, and eventually its rounded tail was visible pushing the large sea cow along.
Down on Honeymoon the beach is clearing out. The wildlife is everywhere. The warming part of spring is here and the seagulls are starting to get a little feisty. Lots of noisy seagulls on the beach. There are also many other species of birds frolicking at the waters edge.
