  abstract = {{A} 3-km resolution regional ocean model is used to investigate the role of wind-driven coastal circulation and mesoscale variability on the inter-annual variability of transport success in the southern {B}enguela between {C}ape {P}oint (34 degrees {S}) and {S}t {H}elena {B}ay (32 degrees {S}) from 1992 to 2011. {L}agrangian particles are released within the top 100 m of the water column along an across-shore transect off {C}ape {P}oint. {T}ransport success is given by the ratio of the number of particles that reach {S}t {H}elena {B}ay over the total number of particles released. {T}he analysis of transport success anomalies and their relationship with the local circulation and wind forcing reveal that there is no single driver of the inter-annual variability. {T}he transport success variability of particles released on the shelf (depths <300 m) mainly depends on their capacity to remain embedded within the coastal {B}enguela {J}et. {N}evertheless, peaks in offshore {E}kman transport and episodic occurrence of a poleward inner-shelf counter-current contribute to negative anomalies. {F}or particles released on the outer shelf edge (depths >500 m), across-shore transports induced by mesoscale eddies are the main contributors to transport success variability. {R}are passage of {A}gulhas rings near the shelf edge can induce strong offshore advection of particles into the open ocean. {I}n contrast, shelf-edge cyclonic eddies favor the onshore transport of particles originating from the outer shelf edge and thus contribute to increasing transport success.},
