In Brevard I think you guys have the same problem to a certain extent that we have along Volusia beaches, (inlets are a different animal). We live and die by that longshore slough that forms and separates the beach from the sandbar where the waves break. That deep ditch goes away here and there, at only a few spots and a few times a year, usually more likely summer season. In Volusia, it's pretty reliable that those good sandbars that erase that slough, will start doing it by June of July, sometimes, even creating really good sand points. The late hurricanes and beach erosion that we experienced last year no drought have thrown a different element into the pattern, but our sandbars through Daytona Beach Shores to Ormond by the sea are still not good. That longshore ditch is wide and persistent still, throughout the area, making surfing when it's small very tide -dependent. It's almost impossible to find a good high tide sandbar when it's small, throughout the area, and even Ponce outside sandbar is not connecting to the inside. Who can tele how that slough fills in? Does the sand graduate from the outer sandbar towards the shore or from the beach outward or both? and what is the mechanism that speeds it up? To many sublties to predict for me
