Two aspects of the schematization of coastal processes on sandy beaches in a direction perpendicular to the coastline are discussed. The prediction of equilibrium beach profiles and the corresponding offshore sediment transport due to wave action. A schematic model of the onshore-offshore profile development was tested on available small-scale and full-scale model tests and empirical relationships were derived to enable the application of the model to both small-scale and prototype conditions.
