showed a net loss of sand above mean sea level (MSL). Profiles to wading 
depth showed accretion below MSL in most cases. The profile line exhibi- 
ting maximum erosion (21.7 cubic yards per foot) occurred at Cape Cod, 
Massachusetts; maximum accretion (24.4 cubic yards per foot) was found at 
Atlantic City, New Jersey. Maximum vertical changes in sand level (4 to 
5 feet) were observed on coarser, steeper beaches (Cape Cod and Westhampton 
Beach, New York), and maximum horizontal changes in the position of the 
MSL contour (-96.3 feet) were observed on finer, flatter beaches (Ludlam 
Island, New Jersey). Extrapolation from surveyed profiles indicates that 
a minimum of 10.1 X 10© cubic yards of sand was moved from the beach above 
MSL along 450 miles of ocean front between Cape May, New Jersey, and Race 
Point, Massachusetts, by this storm. The intensity of the storm is 
estimated to be equaled. or exceeded twice a year.
