I'm betting on Friday! If it's not raining I should be there in the morning/afternoon for a quickie before heading out to work!!

Not sure, I haven't had a chance to see the water drop enough to expose beach with that camera so its hard to say. All I know is that a few weekends ago the pilings were about 12-18" out of the water and there was still no beach.

Anyone want to take a guess at how much more the water needs to drop?

I would say another 18-24"

It sucks that the water is so high at rooster because there's really nowhere else to ride on east winds right? Rolling Eyes
