when waves arrive from the southeast. hese reversals and the location of 
nodal zones should be considered in the development of future beach protection 
strategies. 
Suggestions for the design of future beach monitoring studies have been 
developed. These require that the consideration be given the method of analy- 
sis when selecting the temporal and spatial scales of the beach profile lines. 
Other factors that must be considered are: location of profile lines relative 
to structures, offshore topography, possible nodal zones, and available resources. 
Pilot studies are suggested before the final monitoring design is adopted.
