Abstract: Multiple longshore sand bars are prominent features In many coastal wave-domInated environments.AIr photographs taken over several decades demonstratethe overall stabllity of the multIple longshore bar systems(Shlels 1986,Boczar-Karaklewicz and Forbes,In press).This long-term stabllity implles that theselarge sand bodles represent time-averaged quasl-equ1IIbr lum responses to thecomplex hydrodynamics of the nearshore reglon.
