Figure 14. A seaward-looking view of the beginning of a channel across the Seawall Beach spit on April 7, 2009. Note how the seaweed, wood, and other debris has been cleared from the area of fastest flow. Surf on top of the storm tide may have led to flow toward the foreground near the time of high tide.
