Pantai Baru Rakit, Kuala Nerus, Malaysia, a study was carried out during October 2017,<br />

December 2017 and February 2018. The objectives of this study is to determine the<br />

changes of beach morphology using beach profile analysis and to determine the<br />

sediment characteristics. For beach profile analysis, erosion process occurred to all<br />

sampling stations in the month of October 2017, December 2017 but it started to<br />

recover during February 2018. Thus, the diffrences of beach profile and sediment<br />

characteristics at all sampling stations were mostly influenced by the northeast<br />

monsoon season.<br />
