tdp146 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I was on the beach this evening and the Long period swell is already hitting the beaches. It’s not terribly big (yet) but it is powerful. You can feel the difference even in ankle deep water between an ‘everyday’ wave and something generated by a hurricane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
