Site Description
• Very active morphodynamics – risk for beach users
I. Generation of Ness pole &
NE migration.
II. As Ness pole disintegrates,
it forms offshore sandbanks
which migrate onshore.
III. Onshore-migrating shoals
attach to shore.

Expected results
• Simulations for:• A range of wave heights and directions
• Spring and neap variations
• A range of river discharge
• Characterise risks and produce a chart
explaining them
• Generate a risk map template for the manager to
modify.
