11.. IntroductionIntroduction

Beaches are among the most dynamic systems in the coastal

zone. This is due to the great variability in the main triggering

factors that contribute to morphological change. Dramatic coast

line retreat can occur in a short period of time due to episodic

extreme wave events endangering people and property and

therefore defining the local susceptibility to erosion. This

research aims to determinate beach recession and volume

erosion due to sediment loss during extreme wave events in non

artificialized beaches of the Portuguese west coast, for

susceptibility analysis.

22.. StudyStudy areaarea

The central west coast of Portugal is a wave dominated high

energetic coastal environment. Storm frequency and magnitude

are very important features on the definition of the annual local

sediment budget and on the anthropogenic elements exposure

to the direct action of waves through momentary or permanent

coastline retreat.
