Abstract
Research during the past ten years into coastal problems around the coasts of South Africa has resulted in the development of measuring instruments and techniques which, although specifically designed for conditions around these coasts, could possibly be used equally well in other areas.
This paper deals specifically with measuring instruments and techniques used for collecting data on offshore and nearshore currents, wave conditions and beach profiles extending through the surf zone. Also included are examples of the data collected and some discussion on the accuracy of these data.
