Will the tides caused by the supermoon this Saturday wash anything onto the beach, or will it all wash back out?

What would be the good times for the tides then??
When its incoming:
Galveston tides
Maybe someone who goes there often can say how much tides affect incoming sargassum, I really don't know. I try to go near peak incoming tide just in case

I'm not sure tides make a lot of difference to the sargassum washing up on the beach. It's all about wind direction and speed.
BTW, there were large rafts of sargassum coming ashore all day today. My sweetie went walking on the beach this morning and she said the sargassum was about 3 feet thick right at the water line...
Conditions look real good for collecting this weekend.
good luck,
Steve

Sargassum washed up yesterday due to east swell in the water. Huge rafts of it. Tons of fish and numerous reports from galveston and surfside of large bull sharks in the water chasing bait fish.

Is it safe to go swimming there?

I've been surfing here for almost 25 years and have never been bit and don't know a single person that has been bit (one friend got bit in FL but that doesn't count). Just watch the water when you are out there. If there are a bunch of baitfish moving erratically or you get a bad vibe I would go in. I'm more concerned with stingrays and jellyfish than sharks. Shuffle your feet!

If there are Bull Sharks chasing bait fish I would have to say NO.
What I would like to know will we be able to see this "Supermoon" here in Houston?

I get a bad vibe every time I go into that water! lol Not being able to see anything doesn't make you feel any safer.

Yes. It's going to be 14% larger and 30% brighter than any other moon of the year.

Will the seaweed still be as thick as it is now come Sunday is what I would like to know? Anyone have any thoughts on that ?

www.g-townsurf.com - check the Galveston cam....some time you can see them washing in. Not sure if more will be washing in but if it does it will be on an incoming tide.
Sometimes I will be waiting on waves and will sift through the mats. I've found so much cool stuff in there!

She walks the beach on the west end of the Seawall, but really, when it's coming in the best thing to do is just ride around looking for it.

Tons (literally) of the sargassum washed up on the beaches over the past few days. Didn't feel like sifting through it, though.
