Abstract:

Descriptive summary of results of repeated profiles measured daily, weekly or monthly for 4 transects is presented. The study was not intended to present definitive analysis relating wave action to adjustments in the shore profile but rather serves to show magnitude of profile variations to be expected over a period of years, seasonally, or in one case, for a single violent story. Data are also presented and discussed relating to significance of rhythmic undulations of longshore bar-trough systems as they affect range of cut-andfill along offshore profiles. Author
