The lower shoreface is a geological term used in sedimentology and coastal processes to describe a specific zone of the coastal environment, particularly the area of the seabed that lies just below the surf zone and extends down to the offshore area. This zone typically ranges from about 3 to 10 meters (roughly 10 to 30 feet) in depth, depending on local conditions, including wave energy, sediment supply, and coastal topography.
