Tony, I agree, swimming against the tide isn't very wise, so lets rest this controversial subject of tidal streams.

Maybe I'm carried away too much by emotional grounds, as I explained in my post.

By the way the sandmotor which you showed to this forum is just a good example of the trial-and-error approach by the coastal-experts. They differ also in opinion about sand-erosion as the result of tide, wind, coastal geography, etc.

I didn't know you were kiting also.
