Conclusions<br />

Breaker wave types (Peregrine 1983 ARFM) observed:<br />

Spilling: white water at wave crest spills down front face<br />

sometimes with projection <strong>of</strong> small jet<br />

Plunging: wave’s front face overturns, prominent jet at<br />

base wave, causing large splash<br />

Collapsing: lower portion front face overturns, behaves like<br />

truncated plunging breaker<br />

Surging: significant disturbance smooth pr<strong>of</strong>ile occurs only<br />

near moving shoreline<br />

. . . Shore break: whole face <strong>from</strong> trough <strong>to</strong> crest vertical<br />

with little/no water in front.<br />
