Study site and input conditions. (a) Location of Tairua, New Zealand North Island (b) Detail of Tairua Beach. Pressure sensor (S4_N) location used for SWAN model validation (c) Alongshore shoreline position at Tairua beach. Red represents shoreline advance and blue shoreline retreat over time. (d) Daily alongshore-averaged position (e) Shoreline rotation (orientation) with positive values representing southward accretion (anti-clockwise rotation) and negative values representing northward accretion (clockwise rotation). (f) Significant wave height g) Peak period h) Wave direction. Grey shading show the data that was hidden from modelers (Shorecast period, 2014–2017).
