Polar histograms of hourly averaged, de-tided summer currents in cm/s in the vicinity of Beach Haven Ridge, New Jersey. Only flows associated with winds over 5 m/s are shown. Prevailing wind is indicated by location of histogram on page with wind direction shown in center. Inner ring of histograms is for near-surface measurements, outer ring is for near-bottom measurements. Directions of winds and currents are indicated with top of page representing upcoast motion (036° true). Histo- grams are omitted if fewer than 35 h of data were found for specified wii ' condition.

Boicourt and Hacker (1976) described a similar period of southward storm flow on the Virginia coast with sustained middepth velocities of 30-50 cm/s. Both sets of inves- tigators noted a marked asymmetry in the hydraulic climate, whereby southwest storm flows tend to be noticeably more intense than northeast flows. It is clear from the preceding discussion that the role of storm-driven currents in mediating the coastal sand budget requires additional study. We need to know more about the frequency of southwestward storm flows and their velocity structure. We 981.
