Replenished break

Hate to tell you but it takes years and countless storms to drag that sand back off the beach and create new sand bars. The first beach replenishment I encountered took close to 8 years before some spots started breaking again. Then it was beautiful for a number of years and now they just filled it again after Sandy. Unless you have a heavy winter with some significant Nor Easters, that spot is done for at least a few years.

 

One good Hurricane or Nor'Eastern swell should change things

 

What beach you talkin' bout homie?

 

The whole south coast is wrecked, done for at least a year or two. Maybe three.

 

Nooo sh!t. They made it up that far? Man I love that place, can really be fun under the right conditions.

 

Every spot I've looked at between the two...I mean, I know there's been minimal surf, but something just ain't right.

 

Same. No notices, nothing.

 

The last decent day I was out in may was still great...then I was away for a month and a half, then boom, all fugged up.

 

Mitchell it's weird it's like underpants gnomes did it in one night or something

 

Depends on storms and natural erosion. Some take years to come back. Some are like zombies, they come back, but are never the same.
Sometimes, rarely, some light up with a good big swell.
If Surfrider, or any of the surfing groups had any balls, they would sue the Army Corps for what they have done.

 

Are you sure it isnt just the beach going to a steeper summer profile?

I mean these projects involve weeks to months of dredging, pipes all over the beach, dozers, survey crews...woudn't you have noticed this going on at your local break?

Ocean City Maryland hasnt been pumped in years, but believe me its breaking a whole lot differently now than it was in April or May. On a waist high day, the sand bar has moved in from about 200 feet offshore to 20 feet offshore just due to the seasonal profile adjustment.

 

who woulda guessed... a thread about sand ...now everyone is a pro sand reconner

 

really depends on the weather,u need a bunch of big storms with victory at sea days to push the sand in.they basically bury the sandbars and raise the beach.sometimes it takes a few months,sometimes a year.like they replenished nj the summer before hur 'cane sandy and it sucked,then sandy ripped through and created the best contours I ever seen

do your #sandrekonn

 

Balls?? Surfrider?? They are a bunch of wimpy liberals. They are out hugging trees and whales right now....
