Figure 160. Long Sands Beach, York. Seasonal profile means at LS3 are not as similar as they are at LS2. Closer to the base of slope, the summer mean is higher than offshore where the winter mean is higher. This crossover between seasons is expected as sand shifts offshore in the winter months. The winter envelope is considerably larger than the summer envelope and suggests sand bars on the lower profile may be at different locations over several winters.
