I have frequently hiked this stretch of beach near Point Sal, California many times, and I've never seen the sand behave quite like this. I caught this video in January 2024 (I believe there were many storms during this time).

It looks like a miniature version of the Grand Canyon, but what struck me was how deep and 'crisp' the erosion was. The walls were almost perfectly vertical, and the drainage patterns at the bottom looked like a tiny river delta. How rare is it to come across something like this?
