circular or elliptical orbital, whose size and speed is set by the wave height and period (Figure 2). As waves interact with the shallow
seabed, they slow to a condition where their propagation speed is exceeded by the orbital speed, at which point the wave breaks. In
the breaking process, wave energy is released in the form of turbulence, which entrains sediment and allows it to be carried
shoreward, seaward, or parallel to the coast, according to the direction of nearshore current flow.
