During the past few weeks there has been a lot of morphological change. The pronounced sandbar, present at the beginning of the fieldwork, is gone. Also the trough became smaller and smaller. We observed that with small waves the sandbar gained height and moved inland, sometimes with 6 meters a day! During a storm the sandbar flattened, like a pancake.
The past few days the waves were small. Under these conditions we expect a new sandbar to develop. This takes time, as a storm caused sand transport to a further offshore location. To be continued!
