These models go out 10 days (scroll down on the right to "Model Data" for the controls). They are not very accurate past 5 days, but you can see if we are into a pattern.

FWIW, this is an El Nino year and likely to be erratic.

I drove down Beach Highway to get a lottery ticket and couldn't even see where the east jetty rocks were at Perdido Pass---nothing but a mass of white foam all the way across. At the launching ramps at Cotton Bayou and Boggy Point, the water had covered all but the top couple of inches of the pilings. If I hadn't had all my fishing tackle already loaded in the car, I'd have had to stop and fill the back with sand to keep from being blow off the road.

At least all the rain and high water will wet the sand so my beach cart will roll easier when I go looking for whiting after the wind calms down.

Is this weather event strong enough to alter the contour of the beach profile and continuous sand bar?

If you check out the Gulf Shores Fire Rescue Facebook Page they have some photos of the damage. Mostly wooden panels blown out and a little bit of damage at the octi

Well, it appears I planned my week at a good time. All we have in Arkansas is nice, slow rain with cool temps.

Oh yeah! It will be fun locating all of the new spots that will be created.

The water is so churned up it is hard to be sure but it appears that about 60 feet of beach is washed away at Four Seasons pier. Water appears deeper (good) and bar may be gone or moved. Fished 1 hour this afternoon and caught 12 big hardhead catfish. Nothing good caught. Wave still 7 to 8 feet high.
