Coastal landforms can sometimes result in unique and visually mesmerizing spatially-organized patterns. Different spatial patterns develop over scales ranging from centimeters to tens of kilometers, and are observed at the shoreline (e.g., ripples, beach cusps, shoreline undulations), in the surf zone (e.g., crescentic or multiple sandbars) and even in the continental shelf (e.g., sand ridges, sand waves) where wind waves may play a minor role. Here, we provide a review of the characteristics of rhythmic patterns that develop in the nearshore and of some of their formative processes, a topic of ongoing debate within the research community.
