Abstract
Data relevant to shelf waves and bay seiches, with periods between 60-10 min, were obtained both from the open ocean and from beach groundwater wells during an experiment monitoring tidal fluctuation of the beach-water table, at South Beach, Wollongong, Australia. The amplitudes of the shelf waves varied between 10 and 4 cm in the ocean and their propagation characteristics in the beach-water table were examined by Fourier analysis. Typical amplitudes of the shelf waves in the beach-water table were of the order 3 to 1 cm. Amplitude reduction resulted from filtering processes at the beachface slope.
