M.I. Dredging
The inlet is being dredged today, 10/5. You can watch it on one of the Manasquan Inlet cams. The dredged material is being dumped north of the inlet in close to the beach. I just hope the water clears before the surf run starts in earnest. I am glad the mouth of the inlet is being dredged because it shoals up pretty quickly especially after the NE blows we've been experiencing. It might be worth your while to check out how the beach structure changes when the dredging is over. There might be some more pockets or bars where there were none before. Or, just the opposite can happen. Let's see where the outer bar decides to form to determine if that stretch is going to be a good high tide or low tide spot.

Re: M.I. Dredging
The shifting sand will keep the dredge ship busy for a lifetime. Despite all efforts to restore the beaches by pumping sand onto the shore, the first few nor'easters just turn the sand into slush and suck it right back out and wash it anywhere but back onto the shore from where it came.
The sand is not solid and never gets solid so it just washes away. Remember what they did at Monmouth Beach a few years ago? The beach was built up and extended and then we had two nor'east storms. In order to get to the water, you had to jump down a four foot ledge from what was just days prior, a beach. The freshly pumped and groomed sand was gone. It just can't be compacted tightly enough to make it stay. It won't be long before the sand from the beach restoration work south of Mantoloking will soon be up north and it won't be collecting on the beaches. It will just keep moving along with the tides.

Re: M.I. Dredging
The Rudee Inlet in Virginia Beach was almost closed just prior to several of the big money tournaments this summer due to shoaling. The dredge had to come in to open it up. It's not just a New Jersey thing. The shifting sand is a headache almost everywhere at almost every inlet. That dredge crew can keep working until they decide to retire. There's that much work.
