had a walk at Crescent Beach in September when tropical storm Jose was offshore that was one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had there. Today was better.
The dune edges were completely obliterated by the storm. The stream coming out of the marsh behind the dunes, which is normally carved a good six feet into the dunes, was completely filled with sand. The picnic tables were covered in sea foam. (And we were there a good hour after high tide.)
The waves were crazy, and not just onshore – they were breaking over ledges as far out as you could see on the horizon. It was all white spray. Such an amazing sight.
