1. Beach material almost always moves along the beach in a particular direction which is determined by the prevailing winds. 2. If the winds blow the waves parallel to the shore, sand and pebbles are washed up and back down the beach. 3. If, however, the wind blows so that waves come in at a sharp angle to the coast, the swash carries the pebblesat an angle up the beach. 4. When the backwash moves by gravity back down the beach, the pebbles end up at a different position. 5. This process is repeated and pebbles gradually shift along the beach, a process called longshore drift.
