Separation of bays from the main water area of Volgograd Reservoir by abrasion-accumulative jumpers is one of the regional problems now. This process arises due to alongshore sediment transport. Granulometric composition describes the movement of sediments of abrasion-accumulative jumpers under the influence of alongshore currents. We determined granulometric parameters of jumpers, and we made evaluative calculation of sediment-forming currents’ speeds based on materials of 2019–2020. We studied
