Hi! Yes, it's once a year in May, When the weather is (usually) good and the afternoon sea breezes are firing up, and yet prior to Memorial Day and the start of full-on tourist season.

From a previous post...

This is a bit later in May than some previous years, but we are slaves to Newtonian physics, planetary mechanics and the fuzzy science of weather prediction. Here are the predicted (low) tide times and levels for that week...

Monday May 14 2:23 pm -0.5

Tuesday May 15 3:11 p -0.7

Wednesday May 16 3:59 -0.8

Thursday May 17 4:48 p -0.7

Friday May 18 5:40 p -0.5

With negative tides (lower than mean), it looks like big beaches all week.

I'll make further updates to the web site this weekend after dinner.....

Feel free to post here or contact me with any questions. Hope to see you there.
