Now that sounds like MY kinda beach weather.
My mom has this painting of Malaquite Beach (South Padre Island) that is very typical of what its like there in the Winter time.
It's not a sunny, tropical paradise (though it can be on some days - yes, even in Winter).
The sky is dim and moody, filled with rolling clouds as a storm front is moving in. The sea-grass waves in the foreground while the surf in the background tosses and churns. Black-tip gulls circle overhead - you can almost hear their signature, laughing-like call - as sand pipers dart around on the shore like tiny road runners.
I know I've complained about the weather in Washington State being the same way, but the difference here is that Washington's weather is static as all hell. Your cast-iron sky is like a solid sheet of gray, unwavering and unchanging for weeks at a time.
This sort of "gray" on the other hand, is turbulent, and promising of very fast changes to come. It is a moment you must pause to take in, because just like that it is gone.
