I've been walking along the fore dune and ocean beach frontage of Seaview pretty frequently and have noticed the dramatic growth of the dune top this winter. Nearly 4 vertical feet in many areas, new sand blown in this winter has created a very peaked effect. Equal if not more dramatic are the gap trails and roads, many have grown well over 8 feet high at the immediate area slightly behind the foredune by the local venturi effect of wind blasting through the gaps, then settling down in large mounds immediately behind the fore dune. While they make walking out to and back from the beach a bit more difficult, the loose soft sand makes it nearly impossible for 4wd vehicles to climb the fore dune face. This is a good thing.
