I did throw at another school.... and caught 2 shad that were maybe 3/4" long.
Hard to see/catch bait with 1.5' to 2' waves and the wind blowing 10 to 12 mph most of the time out of the SW. Waves were often breaking over the top of the rocks. After 9 AM the tide was lower and fewer waves were coming over the top of the rocks.
The tide dropped a foot or more before 9 AM and about noon the tide started coming in slowly in the ship channel. Ship channel water was 4 to 6" visability.
Water conditions..... fairly good [~6" visability] along holly beach rocks early, but did have alot of sand/dirt in the water. Also there was a lot of Sea weed. When casting, 4 out of 5 times the bait would get hung up in sea weed before you reeled very far. Sea weed was not as bad if you got out closer to the rocks.

What Gerald said!
If the wind would have lay'd some, the water would have cleared in no time.
