EQUILIBRIUM BEACH PROFILE
Steeper than equilibrium
Excess sediment on profile.
Sediment needs to be transported offshore to re-attain equilibrium

Flatter than equilibrium
Shortage of sediment on profile.
Sediment needs to be transported onshore to re-attain equilibrium

SHORLINE OF SUBMERGENCE
Energy eventually distributed over a wider surf zone and planform irregularities get smoothed out.

INLETS
Coastal Processes with Engineering Applications (Dean and Dalrymple)
Often see build up of sediment on updrift side of inlet, especially if it is jettied.
Can get overlapping of downdrift barrier especially when no jetties exist.
