Abstract

An attempt is made to assemble and synthesize recent publications which may contribute to the improvement of our quantitative capabilities for predicting shoreline changes due to the cross-shore sediment transport in the surf and swash zones on beaches. This review is essentially limited to the cross-shore hydrodynamics of incident wind waves and surf beat motions as well as the cross-shore sediment transport and resulting beach profile evolution.
