You may be correct that the fresh water flowing out, when at low tide, has less salt in it but keep in mind, you have now drenched the bottom of your vehicles and the beach sand gets kicked up into every nook and cranny and that is still loaded with salt. Just a FYI to make sure and always run your truck into some sort of under carriage spray to get as much of it off as possible. Then hose off any other areas you can get to. It may not remove everything but it should help.
When I ran my truck around on the beach, I went ahead and got one of those soaker hoses and attached it to a 2x4, turned it on and slowly ran my truck over it. The soaker hose seemed to do a decent job at spraying water up and all over the place. I did this as it was easier to rinse the under carriage of my truck as I was on the sand frequently surfing the north OR coast. However, I never ran my truck in the sea water, no other water crossings either, but would see people driving out into sea water all the time.
Definitely! I always go to the quarter car wash and use the pressure washer to hose down the underside of the truck and trailer. And I've been able to keep the rust at bay.
But I've seen the rust of some guys who drive their trucks in the salt water along the shore - 100X worse...
