This report presents 4 years of highly accurate, approximately biweekly surveys of four selected beach profiles collected at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Coastal Engineering Research Center's Field Research Facility (PRF) in Duck, NC. These data are unique because they cover the most active region of the nearshore, from the dune out to a depth where net bottom changes appear to be negligible, and were collected coincident with detailed measurements of waves and water levels. The data were collected between 1931 and 1984 using the FRF's CRAB, a 10-m-tall motorized tripod, which, combined with an electronic "total station" surveying instrument, is capable of accuracies of a few centimetres in both elevation and position. The report discusses the data-collection methods, the sources of errors and data-editing procedures, and a brief summary of the actual profile data. Appendices contain the listings and plots of the survey data along with the tables and plots of the wave and water-level data.
