11
Northwest Swell Both San Onofre and Torrey Pines are exposed to North swell.
12
South Swell Torrey Pines is sheltered from the South by Pt. La Jolla San Onofre is exposed to South swell
13
What role does the wave climate play?
14
[m] SAN ONOFRE Low Seasonal Variation TORREY PINES High Seasonal Variation Exposed to southern swell - causing rapid beach recovery after storms Partially sheltered from south swell – requires much longer time to recover

What are the benefits, now and downstream? Data for development and testing of improved models for beach erosion and accretion Guidance for regional sediment management decisions (beach nourishment projects, permitting of protective structures) Data on changes to wetlands, river deltas and shoreline positions in support of regional coastal observing systems
