What a view, eh?!   Pez, You're lucky the water temps (I assume) keep the riffraff out.

Since like most people, self isolation, I spend a lot of time looking at beach cams. Below is one webcam which I have now set as my home page when I turn on my computer in the morning and once on the Desktop, I click to start my browser (linux Pale Moon) to get on the internet.

The webcam below is of the 43rd Street on Galveston Island on the Seawall. It is a camera where you can take control of it to show different positions and the 43rd Street Jetty, Home and 43rd Street Jetty Zoom. The Zoom position is a close up of the end of the jetty so you can see people fishing.

I check the beach cam at Tamarindo about noon each day.  Two-three weeks ago it was pretty packed.  Then, one day they changed the angle so you could not see the beach as much?  But, the lineup still had quite a few people and you could see a few 'old'sters" walking.   Not today! Nada.   (22 March)

We have no real surf cams here and I like it that way. Coming from a time where I had to predict the swell using the daily isobar map in the newspaper and "feeling" the wind, with the newer info like Windy, I have it super-dialed-in, and there's often significant swell when the forecasts say there isn't. Even at closer-in breaks, I get it empty a lot  ;D
