water in Verm Bay
This gauge is at the point, the water in SWPass is green and salty but it just won't move in farther. There is a small rip a few miles in from the pass, but it is slow as molasses as it moves in and flushes out the fresh water. Salinity, water, unfiltered, parts per thousand Most recent instantaneous value: 1.0 08-04-2016 14:00 CDT Add up to 2 more sites and replot for "Salinity, water, unfiltered, parts per thousand" ?

I think we need a couple of days with extreme high/low tides to push Gulf water inland. Also, that gauge monitors the upper column of salinity. Probably saltier closer to bottom.

Its been raining so much. I guess that's keeping the salt water out

If the pass is salty, there might be some good salty water below the fresh on the south 1/3 of the lake. We've had the same thing going on in Galveston for over a year.. Our East Bay has had a fresh surface almost the entire time but we've been catching trout in 6-8ft on shell working the lures right on the bottom really. I know it looks horrible but the fish are still there on the bottom.. the upper end might not be like that though.. just depends on the fresh flow VS salt flow everyday.

it doesn't really matter if the gauge reads the top 1/3, because that is what it read last year as well. The point is the water is 10 times fresher now than it was this time last year. I think it is way more than just the rain, etc.
We had full moon tides 2 weeks ago, it just didn't turn the water over. Having said that, looks like it is on the rise, at about 1.2 now. |
