I was wondering what if anything the resent king tides did to the local beaches...
Really need big surf with that. ...
Kob is right : These massive high/low tides (King tides) don't, of themselves, produce results.
Some people think that since it's going out to its furthest low points during the year, that , since you can now set foot on what was currently inaccessible underwater zones: That it's un-tapped zones. Therefore filled with coins and rings that were previously never exposed & accessible till this time of year. Right ?
But it doesn't work that way. If the sand is "in" (ie.: no erosion lately), then the sand in that was previously off-shore underwater, is JUST as prone to "sand in", as any other point on the inter-tidal zone. So even if 100's of people played and splashed there @ the previous summer months, it simply doesn't matter that it's "now exposed" (and prior mere mortals couldn't reach it with detectors). Because if the sand is "in" (and thus the beach is sterile), that holds true for this very-low-tide section as well.
So the question is not "where" (ie.: what zone of the beach), but rather WHEN (when erosion is or isn't occurring ).
If there has been no erosion going on, then the only thing that these super low king tides do, is create GIGANTIC swaths of real estate, to walk around in and find nothing in. Doh !
