As you enter the beach from Lifeboat Rd, take a left and head out to the sea slightly., you then look back towards the south.

Thanks for that CW. It adds to my assumption about the amount of sand returning to the River. looking from my flat on the front at the Wirral side, the sand is getting more and more spread and reducing the water area of both sides it seems,I am wondering how long before I can walk out to the wind farms.

I can recall from hydrology lessons, that for coastal systems the gentle summer waves are constructive in terms of sandbank and spit formation; autumn and winter storms quite destructive and capable of removing several foot of sand off a whole beach platform in a couple of days. This was demonstrated one extremely cold windy January with theodolite and ranging poles on the beach at Blackpool. The eventual sum of weight of sand removed in a single severe storm from the beach was absolutely mind blowing.
