We are having a wind/wave/tidal event at Good Harbor Beach and I think the tide may even be higher tonight than last night. There was absolutely no beach last night, the tide came up to the base of the dunes and the water went well up onto the boardwalk paths. It was beautiful and atmospheric this morning at GHB but also concerning to see such a high tide so early in the hurricane season.

Note the seaweed goes past the roped off areas into the dunes –

I am filming at coastal locations south of us and just outside of Boston and every beach today had waves equally as giant and red with seaweed as are the waves at GHB, including Revere, Nahant, Winthrop, and Swampscott.

I can tell from the Plover’s foot prints in the sand that they spent the night up into the dunes, as far away as they could get. Our Fierce Dad and his offspring have been joined by a mystery Plover and the three are relishing the seaweed deposited from end to end.
