Shelling conditions
Shelling rewards the lowest tides of the day, especially the mornings after a blow when fresh material has washed in. The timing logic matches beachcombing, weighted harder toward tide height.
Shelling is not rated yet
SeaJot does not have a rule set for shelling yet. Rather than guess, these locations are listed without a rating — the tide, weather and buoy data on each page is still there.
