Abstract

Short term morphological changes have been analysed by means of a fractal technique based on the evaluation of the local and global Hurst exponent. Field measurements collected during beach cusp formation and development and time series obtained through simulations by a numerical model have been considered and compared. Results indicate the possibility that beach morphology might self-organise as a response to the hydrodynamic forcing at least at certain time-scales and at locations inside the swash zone where the forcing is less effective.
