DO you just have to describe what happens in the diagram? Or explain why.

Not 100% sure what you are asking but... Describe what happens is pretty simple I think

Daytime wind comes from south east blowing sand into the sea, which makes the beach get smaller and forms sandbanks in the sea as water doesn't have enough energy to transport the sand that far, either way the sand ends up on the sea floor. During the night the wind comes from the opposite direction and ends up pushing all the sand that blew into the sea and away from the beach is pushed back towards the shore which does the exact opposite. The whole process means that overall the amount of sand on the beach stays roughly the same as long as the wind direction is perpendicular to the coastline, otherwise the sand will be moved along the coastline.

Otherwise if you explain Ill try and help!
