Fresh Crop of Seaweed!

Strong on shore winds are bringing more of something the beach doesn't need----sea weed! A fresh crop is now strewn across the beach of Indialantic. People are remarking that they've never seen the amount of seaweed that we've had this fall.

The wind is brisk. The weather man says that there is a high pressure system to the north and a low pressure system to the south. Between them is a pressure gradient that results in strong on shore winds.

Needless to say, fishing is out of the question. Surfers may like the big waves the pressure gradient is producing. Those who walk the beach will have to dodge the clumps of sea weed.
