Monthly weight of the sand flying into a pine forest was measured in the Shonan Coast, Kanagawa. The sand weight trapped along the distance from the front of the forest is expressed with two different exponential curves : The first is the area from 0 to 50 m which is under the influence of the initial flying condition and the second is the area far than the 50 m, which is outside the influence. Eighty percents of the total sand flying into the forest is composed of 0.4-0.1 mm in grain size. The annual sand weight was estimated as 93 kg/1 m width.
