Hi,
Yes turn the snorkel head round to face to the rear, this will help a bit but will still draw sand into the intake so its best to do this and find shelter asap!! even placing a sock or a close mesh type of bag will help to 'pre filter' the snorkel head but this may reduce engine efficiency and should also be used only as a last resort, removing it immediately when conditions improve. I've had to do this on a bike with open bellmouths and a landy!!
Hope this helps!!
