My wife and I are vacationing at South Padre Island this week. Yesterday, a major cold front blew through the area leaving us with 30 to 40mph north winds. After a windy day yesterday and last night, the sand dunes on the main island highway have been marching across the roadway.



With the high winds, the Gulf is pretty nasty. Waves up to 10 feet have been forecast. These are pretty impressive.



With the strong onshore flow from the high winds, the seas were pushed all the way to the dune line last night. There will be no beach going today. Most all beach access points have been closed.

Those photos of the road are cool!
Back 10 year ago the road was alot longer. I had a jeep(rusted out!) and drove over the dune at the end of the road to find more road for a mile or so till we hit a dune what was way too steep to drive over.
