It was really, really low. It never filled in much.
I think a strong N wind pretty much blows it out of the bay.
It is cold. Did anyone go out today? My personal enjoyment limit is 45 degrees. If it's not more than that I don't go out.
If I lived up north I would get use to it, but this is FL.

Of course there's water! what recon meant to say is there is a sand beach as opposed to NO BEACH .
this place always works best with the least amount of water

All you gotta do is walk out to the water, gives you much more room to launch and land at low tide

In any case, looks like its gone NE now anyways, SWS works best on N or NNE

Just watch out for the sunken dump truck and pile of rebar 100 yards out!

I'm kidding but only a little.

Surprise Raul....you caught us at the southside. Had the place all to ourselves for 3 hours. It absolutely rocked!!!!!! Lit out of our minds on 10M.
Was absolutey toasty in my Gul drysuit which is killer by the way because you can take a pee without having to take any of it off. Zip in the front from shoulder to well....you can figure it out. Lovin the SB3!!!!! That is four killer days this week. We needed it after Nov/Dec.
