Since the main brunt of Debby hadn’t yet arrived I headed over to check on my beach this morning. As expected, the surf was up and so were the surfers. They don’t get many opportunities to catch waves over here on the West Coast of Florida so they were excited by the breakers.

While my walk coincided with low tide, it didn’t seem like it since the outer bands of the storm were already pushing water well past the high tide wrack line. The choppy waves were eroding the shoreline, dragging off tons of sand. Nothing too drastic, just part of the natural ebb and flow of a barrier island.

Thankfully, I made it home before the rain started. It will be interesting to see how the day progresses. Hopefully, Debby’s impact will be minimal!
