The waves were docile and the wind was wrong. A couple grasshoppers were blown to the heat of the beach, along with some flying demons from the pit of hell!
Apparently last year year the weather was in my favor and whenever I went to the beach there were waves. The last two trips proved to be fairly calm so my future trips will be preceded with a check of the surf (not necessarily the forecast).
Thankfully the company at the beach was better than the stable flies and grasshoppers.
