I spoke to some locals up that way about current conditions. Apparently the sardine schools have started to move through a bit late this year and snook are reproducing as well in shower waters near shore. Although there is no shark migration at present these other fish activities would likely bring them in close to shore. One fellow even said the young swimmer was in a fish school around the time of the attack. If you see schools of bait shadows in the water, breaking the surface being chased by larger fish, fins, diving birds any of these are signs of potential shark activity.
