A current that runs parallel to the beach in the area where waves break is known as a longshore current. When waves hit a beach at an angle, longshore currents form. Longshore drift is the term for the transfer of silt by longshore currents.
Longshore drift is the flow of sediments along a coastline caused by waves that come in at an angle to the shore before reversing course and moving straight away. In a "sheet-like" arrangement, water in a longshore current moves up the beach before returning to the ocean.
