Abstract
Sediment supply to coastal foredunes was measured over the period 1986-1992 at three sites along the accretional distal end of Long Point spit, Lake Erie. Variations in sediment deposition from year to year, and between sites, were controlled primarily by variations in beach width, related to changes in lake levels and to local beach morphodynamics, rather than by variations in potential sediment transport based on wind velocity. It is argued that it is inappropriate to predict long-term sediment transport from instantaneous equations which make use of the wind shear velocity U.
