Lagoon, created by the low-energy tidal environment behind the spit, Tidal gap – between the two spits, which have formed in different directions. Water moving through/back prevents the two spits meeting. , Wave refraction – created by the island which is now connected to the mainland. The consequent low energy environment promotes sediment deposition., Direction – either because of two dominant winds, so the spit creates wave refraction causing deposition in a different direction. , Very flat. Origin of beach material – either from the headland, or rolled inland as sea-level has risen., Ridges created by high-tide (the highest points that swash deposit beach material), Ridges of sand or shingle running parallel to the coast in an offshore zone.
