From high-tide mark to polders, the range of dunes has a
width of nearly 2km. In the 1950s heavy storms beat a breach through the foredunes of 'La Dune du Perroquet'. Consequently, the seawater could penetrate through the breach into a dune slack during high high tides. This phenomenon is called a 'sea inlet', or a 'slufter'. The seawater could also top over the foredunes of the Belgian 'Westhoek' in those days (during storm tides), but at the end of the 1970s a concrete dunefoot revetment was built in front of the foredunes to prevent further coastal erosion. Sea inlets in the dunes are a rare phenomenon along the sandy coasts of the southern North Sea.

: hmmm...not as specific, but this seems to do the trick sufficiently well though... maybe tidal marsh inlet if there is a need for more detail (both better than my weak italics:)

Dune gullies
Sea inlet lijkt mij ook een goede vertaling, zeker als het in een technisch woordenboek te vinden is. Toch doet de term 'inlet' de slufter tekort, omdat de slufter normaliter droog ligt of weinig wateractiviteit vertoond. Daarom een aanvulling:
Volgens Van Dale is een slufter een
1. plaats waar zeewater tussen de duinen is doorgedrongen
2. stroomgeul in een zandbank
Om het stroomgeul-idee recht te doen, was ik op dune gully gekomen, maar als ik dit Google, kom ik ofwel in een woestijn, ofwel op de Noordpool, ofwel op een buitenaardse planeet terecht!
