Florida's northeasternmost barrier island. The north end (Fort Clinch SP / inlet jetty area) reworks shell hash into surprising fossil hauls.
Solid hunting day. Best window opens around the 5:46 PM low (0.6 ft, likely 0.3 ft below NOAA → more beach exposed). Moderate E winds (6 mph); offshore push at the low keeps the beach exposed; seas 5 ft+ — murky and choppy.
Heads up: 5 ft seas — visibility will be poor; consider another day.
Next 3 days: Tomorrow is the pick (83); today runs cooler at 73.
Plan around the great low-tide window. 4.4ft swing · low 5:46 PM · ~0.3ft below predicted (offshore wind) · post-storm · 5.4ft swell · +6 event boost.
Impact on visibility and stir-up over the next 5 days.
The Hunt Score blends tide range, lunar phase, daylight timing, recent stir, wind setup, and surf.
Highly favorable. Worth the drive.
We are deliberate about which factors to include. These are not currently in the model:
If you think we should add one of these, log a hunt with notes — every rated outcome helps us decide which signals actually predict tooth count.
Walk the inlet-side beaches at low tide. Sift dark shell hash near the jetty.
Fort Clinch State Park has a small entry fee; Main Beach is free.
State park surface collecting is allowed; do not dig or disturb dunes.
Trophy = headline find · Rare = real score · Uncommon = some trips · Common = most trips.
The beachcomber's bonus round — what else the geology gives up.
