Chuck;
generally right,
BUT look at the beach in Charlestown etc. now.
IT is not a winter beach (erosional) summer beach (depositional)
That works on the west coast, here it is Storm beach (erosional) Fair-weather beach (depositional) whenever the storms happen.

The longshore current acts a bit more locally than that, and is generated by wave action and the angle of waves to the shoreline (i.e. sand from fire island doesn't end up on Misquamicut) The RI south Shore is basically a closed cell from watch hill to Pt J.

Jon is my adviser
