Tuesday’s heavy shore break and the formation of tidal pools on Ocean City’s beaches led many on The Dispatch’s Facebook page blame beach replenishment for the water’s activity while others thought it was due to Tropical Bertha approaching off-shore.
“It is clearly the large swells that we are getting from Bertha. Tidal pools are not an unusual occurrence. We get them all the time. We see them on Assateague where they don’t do beach replenishment, so clearly it is the swells from Bertha,” City Engineer Terry McGean said on Wednesday. “The beach patrol has been getting the word out with these wave conditions that we are having problems with rip currents, so I hope everybody is taking that seriously.”

So sandbars are good because they lessen the shore break, which causes the formation of sandbars, but the fact that sandbars are being formed by shore breaks is a bad thing.
I get it?????
