Examples of the three types of shoreface profiles. 

 Profiles as obtained from NOS charts are shown as solid 

 lines. Dashlines represent the smoothed ramp profile 

 extended to the coastline. Circles represent points on 

 a profile mathematically fitted to the actual profile. 

 The vertical exaggeration is X 500.
