Note the huge bar.




Colorado River Entrance 1/11/2007
Note that there is a breaking bar across the entry channel.  Also a huge spit has built out from east to west along the shoreline and is pinching the base of the channel closed.  It looks like the channel is probably only navigable by shallow draft boats.

Note that the spit crossing the channel from east to west has forced tidal currents agains the west side of the channel and is eroding the channel in an arc to the west just inland of the base of the west jetty.
