Wind velocity, slope of shore, height of waves, etc.

Explanation:

Wind affects erosion on shores. Wind direction and velocity are important parameters when you think about shoreline erosion.

Slope on beach is another factor. The product of shoreline erosion, the rocky shore, is the most primitive type of coast because it has been altered the least.

Height of waves (related to their kinetic energy), length of waves as well as frequency of flood tide, etc. are important factors too.
