Winds are blowing out of the North-Northwest at 10 mph and gusting to 17. The water remains choppy and there is a small craft advisory in effect through Tuesday night.
In a rare circumstance, the Sebastian Inlet State Park was forced to close Friday afternoon due to Hurricane Sandy. The State Park is open again, but the north jetty will be closed indefinitely. A lot of debris washed up and the high winds and surf blew out 11 grates on the north jetty, only three have been recovered. The additional eight grates will have to be ordered and installed before the north jetty will be open again. It will be a high priority for the State Park to reopen the north jetty. In the meantime, the rest of the Park is open, including the south jetty and catwalks. All of our photos today are courtesy of Sebastian Inlet State Park Manager, Terry Coulliette.
Our first photo today was taken on Friday of the north jetty before the Park closed.
Our next photo was taken Saturday day, showing a lot of debris washed up on the north beach.
Photo three shows tons of debris washed in by Hurricane Sandy.
Photo four shows what the north jetty looked like on Sunday!
Our last photo shows a huge escarpment on the south beach.
We are grateful that Hurricane Sandy stay 175 miles offshore, it could have been much worse!
