Summary
|
|
A beach and nearshore topographic survey consisting of two shore-normal profiles and one shore-parallel line (wet/dry line) was conducted. The profiles were extended offshore into the surf zone utilizing a swimming rodman.

Notes
|
|
Field Procedure:
|
|
The total station was set up on the sand, seaward of the restrooms
|
|
and shoreward of the berm crest, at Seabright beach. The HA reference
|
|
was set to 000 degree relative to Control Point 10901 "Point". The SECO
|
|
level rods, in conjunction with the level-rod support tripods were
|
|
placed on the control points and pointed towards the total station.
|
|
Program 10 (site setup) was performed on the total station
|
|
Program 20 (station establishment) was performed on the total station
|
|
using option "Unknown Station Location", utilizing Control Points
|
|
10901, 10903, and 10904.
|
|
Program 4 (UTM) was used to collect control and topo points
|
|
Control Points: 10901, 10904, 10902, and 10903 were surveyed (Fast
|
|
Standard mode)
|
|
The Wet/Dry line was surveyed using the EXP3 stadia rod (Tracking
|
|
mode)
|
|
The Profiles were surveyed using the EXP3 stadia rod (Tracking mode)
|
|
and carried offshore into the surf zone. The profiles were carried out
|
|
to the maximum limit of the stadia rod, offshore.
|
|
Gretchen Luepke sketched the beach and assisted with the control
|
|
points.
|
|
Thomas E. Reiss operated the total station and photographed the area.
|
|
Justin Friesner was the rodman
|
|
|
|
Field Observations:
|
|
Well-defined beach cusps were present. Small, shore-break waves
|
|
allowed complete coverage through the surf zone. A broad, flat
|
|
backbeach characterizes this beach. Some wood yet remains from the
|
|
1997-1998 El Nino storms.
