What is Inlet flow patterns?

An Inlet has a "gorge" where flows converge before they expand again on the opposite side. Shoal (shallow) areas that extend bayward and oceanward from the gorge depend on inlet hydraulics, wave conditions, and general geomorphology. All these interact to determine flow patterns in and around the inlet and locations where flow channels occur.
