Abstract
Convex shores are commonly marked by downdrift decreases in energy. These decreases are due to wave refraction. Shores of this type develop an equilibrium outline by a combination of updrift erosion and downdrift deposition. The resulting form is a concavity or embayment having a radius of curvature equal to about one-fourth of the effective fetch. Several such concavities, with their intervening spits and shoals, may give the shore a scalloped look; bays and lagoons having shores shaped in this fashion have been described as \"segmented.\" The oval marshes known as the \"Carolina Bays\" formerly may have been lakes that were given their nearly circular outlines in the same way. Not all coastal concavities are due to this process, however, and not all equilibrium shores have the scalloped outline.
