the waves,or rough surf during a Storm or Flood tide. Normally the beach would have been much higher, or the sand much higher,with a gradual bank,like a hill sloping to the water.

In the Winter months tons of sand are washed to deeper water, forming sand bars, where as in the Summer months, the sand is washed in creating higher banks, and deeper sand. A Winter Blizzard can change a beach drastically overnight! If you hunted beaches all the time Fred, Believe me, you would learn to "read " the Beach quickly. So hunting a beach, you look for cuts, or places the sand has washed out, leaving pebbles, or rocks showing. Good hunting area's... Sometimes you may not see this condition but once or twice a year, leaving you to hunt in shallower sand. Once the sand is washed back in, you are hunting on 1 to 3 foot of sand, where as the day before, you may have been hunting in 2 inches! You also want to hunt during a minus tide. Meaning when the tide goes out normally to lets say a normal 1.1 foot low tide, during a full Moon, there could be a minus 1 ft tide. On some beaches,this means the water may be receding 100 foot lower than its normal level, leaving a lot of territory to hunt for a few hours,depending on the tide going and coming. Does this explanation help? May have over done it.
