Don't dismiss shooting in windy conditions. Dunes are a product of wind and during a wind storm (30 mph+) they become a very dynamic environment with sometimes other-worldly lighting. The problem of course is keeping the equipment secured and finding a pocket of relative protection. I suggest a sand stake or two with which to tie-off your tripod center column and an assistant with a very robust umbrella. And bury those tripod feet deeply into the sand. Or - you could retreat to the mini-format.
