Lots of complaints over here in West Aus People blaming big business for dreading big blame game... allways seems to be the same each year. Wind washes sand onto beach during summer. Winter always a combination of high tide and fronts moving forward to land bringing in large volumes of water causing super high tides . Swell often high wrapping around into areas which havent seen much movement Lucky the moon isn't out else people be having kittens.

So is high tides followed by large fronts hitting the shoreline during winter really something new? a high tide paired along with a 30-40knot storm front will do some sort of coastal damage regardless.
ps: wish channel 7 would swap the 19;30 home and away slot with channel 9`s 17;30 come dine with me show . Its heaps better.
