Same here. This lack of easterlies has had an impact on the sand
levels on beaches. Beaches facing east like Porthminster at St Ives
have very high sand levels. West facing beaches like Sennen are
missing the normal 'bank' of sand at the top of the beach that an
offshore wind creates (Surface water blown out so sand brought in by
the countering current at depth.) The beach profile is exceptionally
flat.
