Longshore current move parallel to the shore as longshore drift under the prevailing wind in zig-zag motion.
It is an ocean current that is cause by swell sweeping into the shoreline at an angle and pushing water down the length of beach in a uniform direction.
It is a geological also process that consist of the transportation of sediments such as silt,clay,sand and shingle.
