TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis of some results obtained over the period 1979-1982 from a study of beach and surf zone dynamics is presented, dealing with the different natural beach states, the process signatures associated with these states, environmental controls on modal beach state, and the temporal variability of beach state and beach profiles.
