All looks about the same except for dunes being less steep.  We could help quantify changes in beach/dune steepness via beach profiling techniques.

Natural Changes

Dunes appear less steep than in previous months as would be expected due to less storms causing dune erosion. Sure would be good to begin quantifying this via beach profile study.

Report Images

Dunes appear less steep than in previous months.
Exposed cobbles. Most probably due to erosion of sand that was previously covering the cobbles. Cobbles were placed by Army Corps to decrease erosion on this part of the beach.
