Southern California beaches are seeing the results of some storm action so this is an ideal time to hit the beach and stand a great chance of recovering some freshly uncovered deep gold and silver targets!!!

yup. There's high coin-counts mingled with jewelry reports, coming in from multiple hunters, on various forums. The south swells have to much South EAST in them, to reach up to my part of CA. Durnit But yes: south of Pt. Conception there's some erosion going on. Good luck you guys !

Thanks Tom and Mega B. sorry the link isn't working but you can google weather reports for SoCal and you'll see the reports of how we are getting the after effects here of a hurricane down in Mexico.

Good Luck. Saw some reports on TV of what it looks like on the left Coast. Should move a lot of sand.

Ron, although it appears wimpy in our part of the state, yet ......... I'd still give it a try tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon. There's the local beach expert who's at least considered it worthy enough to merit the drive up there. His normal bench-mark is 4 ft. or higher hitting your beaches. This is sorta-kinda hitting that benchmark. But it depends on where exactly one measures from. Because since there's so much frick'n Easterly in it, it simply can't creep in very far into our bay. So for example by the time you get to Seabright or Capitola , etc.... it would appear to be totally shadowed. However ........ perhaps up by Dream Inn got some "bump" ? Sssshhhh, don't tell anyone, haha

Or better yet: Just drive the 5 hrs to southern CA. Doh!

Well as of a 4am-ish frozen moment in time, here's the southern CA hurricane marie wave/swell plot map:

A quick check of google news , if you use key words "hurricane marie" + "waves", etc..., you'll get scores of So. CA newspaper hits from yesterday, citing this as a surfer's bruhaha. And the biggest south direction waves they've seen this year so far (or even some saying the "biggest in years"). Here's an example:

However, look at this same exact time-frame model of Monterey bay (~5 hrs. further north in CA) :

Is that sick or what? Those of us further north in CA are totally bathed in blue (3-ish ft.). While So. CA is getting 4' to 8' at various points. I think it's due to the easterly element in it (SE). Such that points like Palos Verdes and Cypress Point (Pebble Beach), will shadow beaches north of them. So that pretty much nixes all of Monterey Bay. Arrgghh. Well I hope you So CA guys, on those exposed points score some goodies !
