A good question. I don’t think so. If you read any textbook on
oceanography, the chapter on currents and lateral drift will surely mention
Santa Barbara Harbor and show an aerial photograph. Despite being warned
not to build Santa Barbara Harbor by the Army Corps of Engineers, the place
is situated in such a manner that the normal lateral current that carries
sand down the beach is interrupted by the breakwater and the configuration
of our harbor. This causes the sand drop out of the current and fill up the
mouth of the harbor. So every year, sometimes more than once a year, they
fire up the harbor dredge that sits there at anchor waiting for duty!
