Longshore currents are an important factor in beach erosion. A relationship is derived from theoretical considerations between the velocity of the longshore current and the height and period of the breaking waves, the angle between the breakers and the beach contours (assumed straight and parallel), and the beach slope in the breaker zone. Field observations and laboratory experiments support this relationship.
