8:00 am: Early morning photos taken before, and after sunrise are up box #1 and you can see there is a little bit of small scale ENE swell for your Thursday. Small overall, with some knee to maybe thigh high semi-choppy waves rolling in at times. Not near as cold as yesterday at this time.
.
2:00 pm: New afternoon photos are up and posted in box #2 and you can see we have waves to ride for your Thursday afternoon. It is small, weak, and mushy, but there are some knee to thigh high waves to be found. The photos were taken at Crescent Beach. While there shooting the afternoon photos I took some photos of where South Beach Grill used to be. Can you believe the restaurant building is now completely gone? Not exactly sure what this now County owned property is going to be in the future

5:00 pm: Here is a late afternoon video clip from the pier. . You can see it’s small and weak for your late afternoon update….
