Ballston Beach Breach

[saltfly]

Not enough backflow from the river it's self.This is just pushing more sand into the marsh.The predominant current flows along the beach will replace the sand and it will heal back up.

Rich...what does the backside look like? Have you taken any walks from High Head towards Peaked Hills Bar? I do miss those winter walks from the Head past the shacks and the trail walk back.There should be some great stuff washed up about a mile and a half from the Head.Minus lows revealed some great bones over the years.SHHHHH!!!!! don't tell Mr.Price

Have not been down there yet, but Tom, ex - N. Truro postmaster, said Head of the Meadow got wacked really hard - I'll check it after the Bruins game!

Agree.

It was an overwash event, not a breach with tidal flow a la Wasque or Trustom in RI.

It will close via longshore transport...

A lot of dead trout are in there now.
