Today’s weather is going to be more of a repeat of yesterday but with storms coming off the ocean and popping up literally on a moments notice. While Future radar is a 50/50 shot, we are relying on several weather models to make decisions about setting up as well as remembering these are human beings…

Be advised that today’s weather is forecasted to be 50/60% chance of rain off and on again throughout the day. While we are setting up this morning, ALL umbrellas will be left in the down position. 7.5 umbrellas (wood pole umbs) can be raised by pushing them open like a rain umbrella. 9’s and 11’s…

Weather Delay due to winds and storm forecast. As seems to be the norm winds are being pushed with this storm.  At the OIB pier (see pics) winds are 19 to 22 mph and that’s already our threshold for removing umbrellas as we have insurance guidelines to abide by due to liability reasons as we…

As of 6 a.m. there is significant storm related activity coming up the coastline from Florida.  The current storm at present should be gone by 8 a.m. and then there will be a ‘break’ according to future radar and at that time we will review what radar looks like and then make the decision to…

Hi, As is typical at the beach, a forecast storm is in works for between 10 to 12 noon today.  In addition to higher winds this afternoon.  While we are setting up on time this morning the umbrellas will be left in the ‘down’ position today.  If you raise your umbrella then do so carefully…

Hi Folks, Sorry, but there will be no setups today due to the forecast of Heavy Sporadic Showers/thunderstorms as the morning progresses.  We hope the weatherman get’s it right because if they’re wrong then we’re wrong.  That being said, we have to err on the side of caution as we don’t want our equipment to…

Effective at 2 p.m. on 6-14-23   We will be removing beach gear early today due to forecasted spike in winds.  Winds are estimated to be 22 to 23 mph inland and in the beach strand itself, 4 to 5 mph higher.  We have strict insurance requirements at certain wind speeds to remove beach items…

Hey Folks, yesterday the weather folks got the forecast correct as around noon, it just lightly rained off and on the rest of the day.  Today, we are not so much concerned with the wind but the continued forecast for on-again/off-again rain.  Rain doesn’t hurt the beach gear of course.  We just don’t want to…

NOTE:  Weather forecast today is for sporadic light showers, rain typically isn’t an issue, however the more concerning part is the high winds forecast.  Our insurance company outlines ‘for us’ as how to mitigate risks of high winds with beach umbrellas and this is outline on Terms & Conditions so customers know what to potentially…
