We study the shape of the tail of a heap of granular material. A simple
theoretical argument shows that the tail adds a logarithmic correction to the
slope given by the angle of repose. This expression is in good agreement with
experiments. We present a cellular automaton that contains gravity, dissipation
and surface roughness and its simulation also gives the predicted shape.
