I cycled down to the Westend beach this morning at sunrise. It was -1.5degrees and a hard frost covered the landscape.

I was expecting the low tide to be a good ‘runoff’ as it was the lowest spring of the month with minus figures on the tide table. I was disappointed to see that is was nothing special. I know where the Lobsters and local Oysters hang out if the tide goes out far enough. To add to my frustration a recent storm had scoured parts of the beach and removed at least a foot of sand and left rocks and mud where I normally dig for lugworm . The fish must have had a good feed of lugworm when the storm happened. I have never seen this level of erosion before. Got on my bike and came back home. I will have to find another spot to dig until this beach recovers!

Where did the sand go?
