Infragravity (hereafter IG) waves are surface ocean waves with frequencies below those of
wind-generated “short waves”(typically below 0.04 Hz). Here we focus on the most common …

This review focuses on recent advances in process-based numerical models of the impact of
extreme storms on sandy coasts. Driven by larger-scale models of meteorology and …

A 3 week field study was conducted to investigate the dynamics of low‐frequency
(infragravity) wave motions over a fringing reef at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia. Short …

In this paper the energy budget of wave group‐induced subharmonic gravity waves in the
nearshore region is examined on the basis of the energy equation for long waves in …

Video measurements of wave runup were collected during extreme storm conditions
characterized by energetic long swells (peak period of 16.4 s and offshore height up to 6.4 …

This paper presents the numerical modelling of the cross shore propagation of infragravity
waves induced by a transient focused short wave group over a sloping bottom. A dataset …

The growth rate, shoreline reflection, and dissipation of low‐frequency waves are
investigated using data obtained from physical experiments in the Delft University of …

Abstract Infragravity waves (0.005–0.05 Hz) have recently been observed to dissipate a
large part of their energy in the short-wave (0.05–1 Hz) surf zone, however, the underlying …

The non-hydrostatic wave model SWASH is compared to flume observations of infragravity
waves propagating over a plane slope and barred beach. The experiments cover a range of …

A review of laboratory data sets on surf beat is presented, with a focus on the dissipation of
long wave energy in the surf zone. It is frequently assumed that incident forced long waves …
