20^ ABSTRACT (Caatlaum an yVTaraa atOa ff liacaa a alj i and Ideatlfy by block number) 



Investigations of surf zone currents have been conducted world wide for 

 more than 60 years. The primary motivation has been to improve methods of 

 understanding sediment and coastal pollution processes. This report (Vol. I) 

 and a^ companion report entitled, "Annotated Bibliography of Surf Zone Cur- 

 rents" (Vol. II) are part of a major new study of coastal currents initiated 

 by the Coastal Engineering Research Center in 1979. The two reports provide a
