However, we suspect a lot will appear as the sand gets shifted around by winds and tides. At the time of tihs report, the tide was only a foot or so but beginning to come in, but by noon would be almost 8'. A small group of people were standing in ~1' of water near a rock ~50' out. If they stayed there very long, they'd have found it had become pretty deep for the little kids with them.
