Thank you Coolbreeze. The reason I asked was that another member was having difficulty with muck and rocks in their beach area. We built a stone wall, many years ago as kids, underwater running perpendicular from the shore out about 20 feet. The "wall" wasn't more than 10" - 12" high, but I believe it helped create a nice sandy area downstream of the wall. Since the water depth wasn't more than 3 or 4 feet perhaps the wind/wave action kept the area clear. Thanks again, I hadn't even thought of wind action having an effect.
