Contents: This report presents an analysis along with data on beach changes 
at three beaches: Jupiter, Boca Raton, and Hollywood of the southeastern 
Florida coast. A total of 1,560 littoral environment observations (LEO) 
regarding winds, waves, and currents in the nearshore environment were 
collected for the period from January 1969 to June 1973. Annual summaries of 
the monthly averages of breaker height, period, and type; net and gross long- 
shore current velocities; foreshore slope; and percent of occurrence and 
spacing of rips and cusps are presented in Appendix C. Other data included 
are Boca Raton's monthly wind roses and monthly breaker height roses, and 
changes in mean sea level position and sand volumes along profile lines at all 
three beach locations.
