If this is any consolation, the sand they put in Sat Bch in winter 2018 is all gone. The coquina reef is a big conern as that is and always has been the common denominator to Sat Bch's, and one major spot in particular, preservation of a 3-4 A-frame peak lineup since the mid-1970s that I know of.
Speaking of that last swell, it was so damn good because of the 45 degree swell dire tion. Those lows that go off Georgia and the track it took could not have been better.
Looks like some mild fun coming Sunday as well.
Unfortunately, the scope of this project is way more than the 2018 dune restoration project. This is a beach-widening project akin to the north reach area...aka Cocoa Beach. To make matters worse, this is a 50-year project where they will "re-nourish" every 2-years as needed. I'm not opposed to dune restoration, so long as it is with high-quality compatible sand, but I AM opposed to artificial beach widening and the burial/ repeated burial of our natural nearshore coquina reefs. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not expecting insignificant detrimental impacts to our surf breaks, especially on less than epic swells, notwithstanding the offshore bathymetry that favors certain breaks.
