University of Hawaii. Chief Scientist: Chip Fletcher. Beach Sampling data (handsamplegrab, shortcore) of field activity WS198OA (W-S1-98-OA) in Kailau Beach, Oahu, Hawaii from 04/10/1998 to 04/10/1998
Location
Hawaii
Summary
Sample K6-1 - ~1 m from posts on north property side of home (rocks; no veg line), dry); Sample K6-2 - high swash / wet-dry line, damp but not water-soaked sand (likely extent of last high tide).
Info derived
Beach morphology.
Comments
Windsurf - collected in front last private home before beach park (where windsurfers launch). Trades were blowing from the ENE at 20-30 knots, with gusts to 40, and had been for several days. Some scarping present as a result. Between 4 and 7 pm (moderate tides, moderate to large fetch waves), six locations along Kailua Beach were sampled at 2 regions of the beach face. In most cases, samples labeled #1 are the upper 5-6 cm of sand collected ~0.5 m makai of the vegetation line; #2 is the upper 4 cm of sand collected from the high swash area. The swash was a bit steeper than usual, so samples were taken rather high on it rather than at mid-swash.
