All of these factors can influence whether a coast gains or loses sand with time. Precipitation on land can affect the sediment supply to the coast. Sediment in rivers can also contribute to sediment supply, which can be transported to the coast.

Prevailing wind direction can also affect the movement of sediment, as wind can transport sand inland, leading to erosion, or deposit it on the coast, leading to accretion.
