• W870411 abstract "Swash oscillations on two natural beaches were measured to show that the shape and magnitude of energy spectra can be largely dependent on processes occurring inside the surfzone. The observations took place on a steep, intermediate beach on the east coast (Tairua Beach), and a low-sloping, dissipative beach located on the west coast of New Zealand (Ngarunui Beach, Raglan), and aimed at improving the understanding of the effects of wave breaking, beach slope, and nonlinear wave interactions on the swash oscillations. These problems were addressed by analysing datasets obtained from field experiments undertaken at these two sites.A field experiment at Tairua Beach showed that swash oscillations were critically dependent on the stage of the tide which controlled the degree of wave energy dissipation over the sandbar crest. Under mild, near-constant offshore wave conditions, the presence of a sandbar and the tidally-controlled water depth over its crest determined whether most of the incoming waves broke before reaching the shoreline. This forced a change in the pattern of wave energy dissipation across the surfzone between low and high tide, which was reflected by changes to swash elevation (runup) on time-scales of a few hours. Significant runup height Rs, defined as 4 times the standard deviation of the waterline time series, varied by a factor of 2 between low tide, when most of the waves were breaking over the sandbar and high tide, when the waves were barely breaking. The increase in wave energy dissipation during low tide was associated with changes in swash maxima distribution, decrease in mean swash period and increasing energy at infragravity frequencies (0.004–0.05 Hz). Bispectral analysis suggested this infragravity modulation might be connected with the presence of secondary waves at the shoreline.Swash oscillations at Tairua were not homogeneous along the beach. Alongshore variability in Rs of up to 78% was observed and was mainly driven by changes in the sea-swell (0.05–0.4 Hz) band of the swash. This variability was predominantly controlled by alongshore changes in beach face slope, although alongshore patterning in wave breaking over the sandbar caused alongshore changes in wave dissipation and also resulted in alongshore swash variation in the sea-swell bandwidth. At infragravity frequencies, alongshore swash variability was not well associated either with changes in beach slope or wave breaking and was possibly linked to the presence of low-mode edge waves, observed from frequency-wavenumber spectra of the swash time series.A final experiment was conducted to understand the surfzone control on incident and infragravity runup on a gently-sloping beach. The observations showed that runup saturation at infragravity frequencies can occur under mild offshore energy conditions if the beach slope is sufficiently gentle. Infragravity saturation was observed for higher-frequency (> 0.025–0.035 Hz) infragravity waves, where typically less than 5% of the (linear) energy flux was reflected from the beach…" @default.
