Sand Often Comes and Goes Seasonally
- "The berm, or the high flatter part of the beach where you lay your towel or play volleyball, is usually at its widest in September — think of Labor Day weekend at Main Beach. But as the seasons begin to shift and the first early storms arrive, the steeper and more energetic winter waves stir up the sand and begin to carry it offshore, leaving behind a much narrower winter berm. In some winters, such as this one, there may not be much berm left at all." - excerpts from article by Gary Griggs in the Santa Cruz Sentinel.
