Hope my explanation helps...a cut at the beach is when the sand has been "cut" as if buy a knife. When your walking towards the ocean, and there is a "drop", as in a cliff, to a lower level of sand. That is a cut at the beach. I don't have any pictures to show you, but, if you google "beach erosion" you will find some pictures of what I'm talking about. HH Gary |

I went to a beach about a quarter mile north of the main Santa Cruz beach on thursday and there was about a four foot cut. |

ok, this is a silly question,,,, but you detect below the cut right? closest to the water? or next the actual cut? |

Benjy and Marcus: Each day and each cut can be different, as to where the targets will appear in relation to them. Some days the targets are all up within the first 6 ft. of the cut, and absolutely nothing below that parallel. Other times the targets will all be at the mid-parallel of the wet, with nothing above or below that. Other times there's a band on the mid-wet line, where all the targets will be at that line, out to the water's edge, but nothing up higher than that. And sometimes the targets will all be in a "swoosh" pattern leading off to one side of where the cut ends, showing that the waves/water was side-swiping the cut (hitting from an angle before exiting back out to sea). You just gotta try high and low. Once you get a target, you work in circles around that, to see if it's part of a pattern (as opposed to a random target). If you get nothing more in 2 or 3 widening circles, then you move on. |

I have done really well working parallel to the cut and doing sort of a winding S pattern until you figure out if there is a particular band of targets, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and it all depends on the tides. |
