I used our boardcam at Salt Creek a few days ago. It was 3-4 foot and closing out most of the time but there were a few inside dredgers.

Well, the east coast hurricane season has begun in earnest! Right on the heels of last weekend's epic Hurricane Bill swell, soon-to-be Hurricane Danny is developing to the east of the Bahamas, following a similar, but much closer to the coast track:
