The results of analysis about the behavior of the beaches in the sector between Barranquilla (Bocas de Ceniza) and flecha de Galerazamba are presented, Twenty-four profiles perpendicular to the coastline were taken between both seasonal periods (dry and humid). On the humid period, under the influence of the westerlies, the beaches lose their berm and experience a significant retrogression on their foreshore, sometimes in the order of tens of meters, exhibiting a con cave profile. On the humid season, when the easterlies weaken, the beaches build up and exhibit a convex profile in their morphology. Between Bocas de Ceniza and Santa Verónica the slopes are soft and are associated with fine sediment, while on the southern sector the gradient and the size of the grain increase on the foreshore.Downloads
