The hydrodynamic conditions or processes, that come about from waves transforming over a coastal profile and generating wave set up and longshore currents, will result in movement and transport of the sediments (e.g. sand) present in the profile. This is referred to as ‘’littoral transport processes’’ and is the main subject of this article. However, transport of fine sediments will also be discussed, but only very briefly.
