I've seen the future, brother, and it's murder.



Murder of the breaks in Harvey Cedars, anyway. Above is a picture of a beach a six or seven beaches up from Hudson Ave. This is the sand replenishment thing they're doing to try to combat nature and build up the quickly waning Harvey Cedars shoreline. The only problem is that the it looks like the new beach reaches out almost to where the lineup is in Harvey Cedars. So what will happen to the waves? I had spoken to a bulldozing guy on the beach and he told me they were going to build it out to way past the jetties, but now that I actually saw it, it's much more obvious that this is going to screw up the breaks. Oh well, for now, dig the Big Bopper....

  1. As usual the beachfill will only last as long as the next big storm look at it this way that new sand may make for a longer breaking wave at wooden jetties if right sweep happens during the storm, be positive with no swell in the forecast, let the city spend taxpayer money on beach fill so all the city folk can roast there pale bodies on a beach, that by an act of god might not be there come june?
