Hold on to Grandma day!

Mornin'! It's the beginning of yet another heatwave. I'm pretty sure it's the 7th heatwave this summer. It's currently 66 degrees in WW this bright, warm, clear, sunny Sunday morn. Temps will get near 90 degrees today. It's very still as there's no breeze out there yet but one will be coming later (5-10mph) and I'm sorry to say it's coming from the West. We all know what that means...warm breezes and greenheads. Greenheads...for those that haven't a clue what I'm talking about are nasty biting flies who will do anything for a bite of human flesh while relaxing on the beach. While "beaching" today, there's some important things to note...those hurricanes/tropical storms (Danielle, Earl and Fiona) are still hundreds and hundreds of miles off our coast, but we're still going to feel their effects. Rip currents, Rough surf (forecasters say rougher than yesterday) and high swells will be evident in the ocean today and will stick around for a couple more days. Good for surfers; not for grandma! Hang on to your hats when swimming; it's incredibly rough and challenging. Swim near the lifeguards and listen to their whistles. If in trouble...act like you are and wave and holler for help. Water temp is a refreshing 76 degrees. High tide is 10:52a.m.; Low tide: 5:13p.m. So, take care today...pay close attention to lifeguards, remember your suntan lotion and bug/fly repellant, surf/boogie boards, and most important of all...a handle on Grandma and oh yeah...keep an eye on the baby's binky!
