True

A spit is formed through wave deposition.

A spit is a geologic feature created by the deposition of sand by the movement of tides. Spits are usually narrow and long and they extends out to a water body (such as sea) and connects to the mainland at one end. Spits usually form in areas where the prevailing wind blows at an angle to the coastline which leads to longshore drift. Examples of spit are the Farewell spit located at the northern end of the South Island of New Zealand and Spurn Head located along the Holderness coast in Humberside.
