Rough seas

North, Towards "Miral" Coffee Shop on Beach
(Caribou Coffee/Costa Coffee/ Red Bean etc.)
I was hoping to see a  high neap tide this morning but the wind did get up overnight, coming onshore from the northeast at 15-40 km/h. The sand was blowing around the buildings and off the beach with waves 1-2m ( moderate to rough).
Entry Point to Beach
Given that the beach was being over washed to the encroaching building edges and the small promontories/ piers were also being washed over, I decided to err on the side of caution and give the fishing a miss this morning. I don't need a storm surge making the water higher than last week's spring tide blocking access and compromising safety.
