“…Type (3): Low‐Energy Finger Bars. These transverse bars (Figure c) are persistent features in fetch‐limited beaches without a shore‐parallel bar [ Falqués , ; Bruner and Smosna , ; Eliot et al , ; Pellón et al , ]. Only Bruner and Smosna [] and Pellón et al [] gave information concerning both their orientation and the forcing direction.…”

“…Estuarine and bay coasts are widespread and densely populated (Eliot et al, 2006;Vila-Concejo et al, 2010;Harris et al, 2020). A ubiquitous feature of estuaries and bays is sandy beaches (Vila-Concejo et al, 2020), which can be small in scale when compared with open coast beaches.…”

“…Classifications and conceptual models that are routinely applied to sandy wave-dominated open coast beaches such as Wright and Short (1984) are based largely on features such as breaker bars and rip channels that generally do not occur on BEBs (Jackson et al, 2002). The works of Hegge et al (1996), Eliot et al (2006) and Travers et al (2010) provide an understanding of the morphology of low-energy microtidal beaches sheltered by reefs, islands and headlands in south-western Australia. Meanwhile, Nordstrom (1980), Nordstrom et al (1990), Jackson and Nordstrom (1992) and Nordstrom et al (1996), among other works such as Rosen (1977) and Rosen (1980), focused largely on beaches in estuaries and bays in north-eastern USA.…”

“…It must be noted that the dimensions of the rhythmic features in the study area differ from the published observations for small-scale finger bars, which are characterized by wavelengths spanning from 15 to 80 m and cross-shore spans ranging from 40 to 250 m [53][54][55]. In this case, the investigated features presented cross-shore spans from 3 to 18 times larger than the spacing observed between crests (depending on the area), aspect ratio not contemplated in the previous classification [52], being closer to the spacing observed for beach or lake cusps [9,56].…”
