Abstract: The Gulf of Riga’s western southern and eastern shores belong to a more than 700 km long interconnected sedimentary coastal system of the eastern Baltic Sea. Even though many shore segments of this water body are relatively straight, the presence of small headlands and even minor changes in the orientation of the coastline together with a two-peak directional system of predominant winds leads to a natural division of this system in numerous fully or partially separated segments. We decompose this system into single sedimentary cells and compartments based on the analysis of wave-driven bulk and net potential sediment transport using high-resolution wave time series and the Coastal Engineering Research Centre (CERC) approach.
