Coastal Transportation

Coastal Transportation

1. Up and down the beach

  • Through swash and backwash

2. Longshore Drift

  • Occurs when waves (swash) approach the shore at an oblique angle
  • The swash carries material that can be deposited on the beach
  • The backwash waves flow straight back down the slope of the beach
  • This process is repeated over and over again and results in the zig-zag movement of material along the coast
