Water color at the surf

[WarEagle80]

Can someone explain why one weekend the surf water is a pretty green and the next weekend a nasty brown? The weather conditions were the same both weekends.

West wind?

[WarEagle80]

Yes, west wind

West wind?

That's right...
Anytime you see a "W" in the wind its forked

If the weather conditions are the same , I can only guess that the west wind was very light then harder to muck it up .

Rumor has it that the west wind blows all the silt deposits from the brazos rver to the east our way. Whatever causes it, the west wind always causes the water to be dirty.

That dang west has been blowing hard on the island for tge past four days. It doesnt take much say 14 or higher to mess up the surf.last two nights its been pretty hefty 20 plus.this morning it calmed down. Looking good for tomorrow

Thanks for all the info

Interesting proposal , but , I would guess a hefty sustained west wind would be needed to push that silty water to Galveston . But , such a wind would dirty the beachfront without the help of Brazos River silt .

It doesn't take but about 5mph or less of ANY kind of wind w a west in it. It doesn't blow anything from anywhere other than rake the shoreline

So quit coming up w theories and stupid sheit. Anything and any kind of wind with a "w" in it will do it.

SW, W, NW ........get it now?

Look in other bays that afford protection from a West wind

After living on the island for over 15 years and fishing pretty regular, the prime months for wading the surf, May - September have been increasingly worse for catching those perfect conditions. If you can get three good days in a row, you better be out there. Then again, I've seen it go to chit overnight.
