Something's different about our beaches here

- Heyo! I took a trip to Assateague and spent some time at home looking at one of the key differences that makes Delaware so fickle.
Thanks again to Sam and co. for the footage and good times! Check out his channel: @surfcooker1766
See you real soon for some muddy work trying to clean up the estimated 20,000 derelict crab pots in the Delaware Inland Bays 😊

Hey hey! I'm Grant, and I am a surfer/scientist currently in coastal Delaware. I'm sharing with you some of my life and some of my thoughts to bring exploration, conservation, and education to those who can't experience it everyday. Right now, I'm studying beaches and the seafloor at work and taking full advantage of them otherwise, but in the future I want to double down on showing you the beauty of all the blue water that's out there. Hope to see you in, on, or under the water sometime soon 🌊
Shout out to the glacial morine, L I, Fire Island and surfing those shifty sand bars and inlets
Gotta be there everyday
great video! 🤘
Thanks! 😊
Awesome vid
Thank you!
Dude, freakin' awesome video. Keep creating!
thanks! 😊
Very nice and enjoyed it. Would also be interesting to explore the headland vs. barrier island angle to why Delaware's beaches were also coarser and more gravelly than Assateague before replenishment. I think the non-man-made differences are a significant part of the puzzle.
thanks Mike! will have to look into that
What's the tidal range there? There's a story in the UK that relates to a storm that happened in the UK on the south coast of Cornwall. The storm lasted several days in the 1700's as far as I can recall and the story centres around two coves either side of a headland. The beach to the west was a sandy beach - Porthchapel and the next beach to the east was Porthcurno and that was a deep-water port with a harbour. The storm raged for days - possibly more than a week and once the storm broke so much sand had been washed around the headland, Porthcurno was no longer a deep water port, the harbour having been completely buried by sand. To this day Porthcurno is still a sandy beach.
Oof…in the US that would definitely be a call to FEMA. We see some pretty wild changes and even infrastructure damage during storms, but our tidal range is much smaller here than yours - only about 1.2m. Thanks for watching 😊
I believe a similar thing happened at Loe Bar but by the 13th century Helston had been completely cut off from the sea by the bar that had formed resulting in Cornwalls largest natural fresh water lake.
Cool video! One suggestion i have for future videos is a timelapse that shows the rapid changes. Even before/after shots would be cool. You talk about the changes and you show models of them, but the actual beach footage doesn't communicate tne story as clearly because we aren't primed like you are to notice the differences.
Thanks for the feedback! Ask and you shall receive
This was a sick video! Always been curious about how much the beaches change here
thanks!
sick surfing havnt seen turns that clean on a log in a while especially on such small waves
lol thanks, nothing too special there
Damn bringing me back to my coastal geology class with these beach profiles and FEMA flood events, sick surf tho!
lol sorry if there was a little PTSD in there! Thanks!
Nah dude It was an awesome class I loved it happy I found your channel
👍👍
Get in the water
