A method of determining, as a function of water depth, the amount of sediment entrained into the longshore current regime seaward of the breaker zone is developed and presented, the objective being the nourishment of beaches by offshore dumping of sediment such as by hopper dredge. A summary and general description of previous related investigations are included. Wave hindcast data compiled by National Marine Consultants for the years 1956, 1957, and 1958 were used as input to the method for verification purposes. The site of verification was Point Pedernales, California. Figures showing the computed and measured longshore sediment transport are included for comparative purposes.
