APPENDIX C: DATA SUMMARY FOR THE STORM OF 13 JANUARY 1964 



1. The 13 January 1964 storm's effects were docximented for the three 

 New Jersey sites including Long Beach Island, Atlantic City, and Ludlam 

 Beach. This storm was a significant event primarily caused by the large 

 waves and tides. Wave heights at the three localities ranged from 3.7 to 

 4.6 ra. A storm tide of 1.6m and surge of 0.8 m were recorded at the 

 Atlantic City tide gage. Water levels remained extremely high throughout the 

 storm, never dropping below msl as predicted for the intermediate low water. 

 Several smaller storms can be seen in the wave record during the survey 

 interval and may have had some effect on beach change. The poststorm 

 surveys, however, were conducted only a few days after the major event. 



2. All sites significantly eroded after this storm with Long Beach 

 Island experiencing the greatest median volume change of -28.2 m^/ra. All 

 sites showed a large variation between the profiles with Atlantic City having 

 the greatest hinge range of 37 m^/ra. Atlantic City experienced the least 

 median volume change of the three sites. Erosion occurred high on the berm 

 between the 0- and 2.5-m contours. Shoreline changes were variable 

 throughout, and slope changes were negligible with the exception of Long 

 Beach Island which flattened 0.035. 



3. Tables and figures are arranged according to predicted and actual 

 water levels, hindcasted wave data, profile comparisons, shoreline and slope 

 changes, unit volume changes, and distribution of unit volume changes.
