Sand Blowing Along

As the wind usualy blows out on the Tohe (90 mile beach) you can see the dry sand being picked up and skimming along the surface.

If you are close to where you came on, or by an onramp and you see the sand being blown along from BOTH directions and into the onramp that you came off (instead of just moving in one direction and going past the onramp) that means "Go Home"
