Abstract Small scale two dimensional hydraulic model tests with regular waves on steep impervious smooth structure slopes of 2/3, 1/2 and 1/3 showed that, maximum impact, drag and lift forces on such slopes occurs under a specific flow kinematics when a deep run-down following a high run-up is interacted with an incoming plunging-collapsing breaker. This critical flow occurs at a surf similarity parameter of 2.5 < ξ < 3.5. The kinematics of flow at this critical flow condition together with its probability of occurence is most interesting during the design of dike or rubble mound slopes.
