Field Measurements of Wave Runup and the Beach Watertable

H. Y. Kang / A. M. Aseervatham / P. Nielsen

Comprehensive measurements of the coastal watertable, beach profile, and wave runup statistics are presented for five natural beaches along the coast of South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales. Water levels in shore normal transects of stilling wells were monitored at regular intervals over 2 semi-diurnal tidal cycles. Runup statistics were obtained during the rising tide and at high tide. Some general characteristics of these beaches are described.
