NotesThis study of beach morphology was conducted during ten months covering the winter of 1982/1983. This was a period of overall deposition at the Spit. Factors affecting shoreline position included the longshore position of rhythmic features of the beach, the amplitude of the rhythmic topography and wave heights. The study period included an El Nino event.
