The associated sand-laden jets may greatly add to this shoreface fallout (Hayes, 1967). As the storm wanes, the bar re-forms, and the cycle begins anew. The cyclic nature of sand storage on beaches has been quantitatively assessed by Sonu and Van Beek (1971) in a study of northern North Carolina beaches (Fig. 4). They observed a sequence wherein a storm-degraded concave beach profile, representing minimum storage, passed by means of swash bar accretion to profile of maximum storage, during a four-month pe- riod. They noted that the sense of sedimentation (ero- sion or accretion) was more strongly correlated with the direction of wave approach (and hence with wind direc- (a) ^— -v >• c \ c I t I y.
