Abstract

We review some of the properties of surface gravity waves and look at their modification as they enter the littoral zone. Theoretical and experimental modeling of processes pertaining to the near shore are discussed and compared with field observations. In particular we review the present knowledge pertaining to the dynamics of rip currents, longshore currents, and computer modeling of beach deformation due to wave‐induced erosion or accretion.
