| Figure 4. Portion of G4 showing the 135 cross-shore transects (in black) used in calculating the alongshore flux. Alongshore flux was calculated using wave height and direction at the most offshore point along each transect where the depth-induced wave breaking dissipation exceeded 0.01 watt per square meter. If this threshold was exceeded offshore of the island platform (defined as the 4 m contour, shown in purple), values at the 4 m contour were used instead. [m, meters] | ||
