Low tide should be around 7pm tonight, but it is definitely a falling tide. High tide was around 8am this morning.

There is a lot of erosion going on now. Walton Alert (Sheriff) just posted that due to the erosion, beaches will be closed until further notice.

I have seen some photos of bad erosion on Facebook in some SoWal places. Eastern Lake has fared well, so far.

Thanks Kurt for the vid. We are heading to Seacrest 9/7, hopefully there is still some white sand left or the ocean has brought some back in by then.
