Short summary
The work develops a Lagrangian theory of the transport on the continental shelf forced by periodically rotating wind driven. A strong resonance occurs when the wind stress rotates counterclockwise at the local Coriolis frequency, manifested in a fast longshore drift. For clockwise sub-inertial wind rotation the drift is directed with the coast to its right while in all other frequencies the drift is directed with the coast to its left.
