If you are planning a beach getaway to the Caribbean in the next few days, you may want to consider delaying your vacation for a few days.
The cyclone and hurricane activity in the Caribbean has made a pleasant beach stay almost untenable.
The seas are 13-16 feet higher than normal, and violent surf pounds the beach.
In the video above, you can see the wave action of Cabbage Beach on Paradise Island in the Bahamas yesterday (Thursday) at 5:00 PM.
A few brave tourists do spread blankets on the beach, but with the wind and the sea spray, it can be unpleasant. Rogue waves do come right up over the beach.
The skies are sunny again, and the water should calm down to its normal "blue lagoon" status, particularly since Fiona will not make landfall in the Caribbean, and Gaston has weakened into a tropical depression.
