Welcome everybody, to our spring newsletter. We hope you are enjoying this
delightful weather and have managed to have a swim in our beautiful Bayside
beaches! The cool weather changes are also a refreshing, welcome change to
the heatwaves we are experiencing this spring.
Update on erosion of the Sandringham beaches
The movement of sand is now occurring towards the north, due to prevailing
south and south-westerly winds typical of this time of the year. We are now
starting to witness sand depletion north of both rock groynes and any hard
structures; for example, the Royal Ave and Southey St groynes. These changes
are evident in the photos below. As has occurred in previous years, this will
continue, particularly over summer and autumn. As the sand continues to
deplete, strong wave action will further erode the base of our cliffs.
