Cow Tamer,
Common after storms. Sand is moving around quickly in the recovery phase after erosion. When that happens, sand is often thixotropic ($5 word that means sediment that is stable until moved, stepped on, etc.. think quicksand) basically they are saturated sands that haven't dewatered and compacted yet.
