Abstract
Monitoring the topographic variations of beach profiles along a spit located at the southern end of the Itaparica Island (Todos os Santos Bay, Bahia), it has been possible to show that, developing since the beginning of the Holocene, this feature has stopped growing in the present. Its growth was due to longshore drift of sediments from eastern beaches, induced by NE, E and SE winds. In the present days, instead of being deposited on the spit front, the sediments are being carried into an adjacent channel by strong ebb-tide currents.
