Closer to shore, water depths reduce and wave effects become more important in governing sediment transport. At shallow water locations off the East Anglian coast, waves are dominated by short period wind-generated waves and generally reveal a predominant wave direction from the east. Along the shore itself the wave energy varies significantly and in places is heavily influenced by the sheltering effect of nearshore banks.
