TL;DR: A detailed inspection of the 1500m-long bimonthly topographic surveys of Truc Vert beach shows that in early January 2014 the outstanding shore-normal incident storm swell "Hercules" with Hs and peak wave period Tp peaking at 9.6m and 22m, respectively, triggered the formation of a localized megacusp embayment with the erosion scarp height exceeding 6m in its centre where the dune retreat reached 30m as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the 2013/2014 winter wave conditions that severely impacted the Atlantic coast of Europe and demonstrate that this winter was the most energetic along most of the Atlantic Coast of Europe since at least 1948.

TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis of all the data available on the area combined with observations on other environments leads to a Truc Vert Beach state model ranging from a modal double bar configuration to an occasional triple bar configuration.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a robust rip current type classification that provides a relevant framework to understand the primary morphological and hydrodynamic parameters controlling surf-zone rip current occurrence and dynamics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the most common type of IG waves, those induced by the presence of groups in incident short waves, and three related mechanisms explain their generation: (1) the development, shoaling and release of waves bound to the short-wave group envelopes (2) the modulation by these envelopes of the location where short waves break, and (3) the merging of bores (breaking wave front, resembling to a hydraulic jump) inside the surfzone.
