MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — While the effects are expected to be much greater further north, heavy waves from Hurricane Nicole battered beaches in northeastern Miami-Dade County Wednesday.
Haulover and Bal Harbour beaches saw surfers hitting the waves against the advice of local officials.
“Crazy, really crazy, I can’t believe people are out there,” one beachgoer said. “It’s pretty nuts.”
The storm added to concerns over beach erosion.
Bal Harbour recently underwent a major beach renourishment project, but Nicole threatened to wash that away.
