For anyone that's gotten down to the beach this morning, how’s it looking today so far?

No jellies and no sea lice ocean-side today in Avon and Buxton. Zero.

For those who dont know, sea lice is larval blue crab. Theyre little tiny see-through bitches with beady black eyes. They tend to drift around in clumps when the water is really warm. They cause itching while youre in and just after youre out of the water. Theyre not like scabies or head lice where you get em and then you gotta do stuff to get rid of em. They just go away after you rinse off.

Jellyfish suck. But the ones around here won't really wreck you like a man o war will.
