Abstract

 The method developed by Lippmann and Halman, in which the imageries taken by a video or web camera are employed to observe water depth in the surf zone and the formation of a bar and trough, was applied to the observation around No. 29 artificial headland on the Hokota coast facing the Pacific Ocean. Typhoon No. 21 hit the coast with storm waves of H1/3 = 5.4 m, T1/3 = 15.4 s on October 23, 2017, and then calm wave condition continued. During this period, the direction of longshore channel, where longshore currents are developing, changed offshore to form a rip channel while cutting the bar, and a rip head was formed offshore of outer bar. Furthermore, it was found that a rip current always develops along the north side of No. 29 artificial headland because of its wave-sheltering effect.
