Cyclic cuspate sand spits and sediment transport efficiency
Contrasts in occurrence of cyclic cuspate spits are found between smooth sandy oceanic barrier shoreline and spit-decorated shorelines of associated narrow barrier lagoon, and in spit development varying from none on straight sandy shoreline to progressively prominent development with increasing convexity along adjoining sandy headland; critical factors in this selectivity seem to be wave fetch and shoreline curvature; both factors present contrasts in efficiency of longshore sediment drift of coarse particles.
