Table 4 Percentage change in cliff-front breaking, broken, unbroken, and total wave hours per year from 2013 to 2100. Mean values of 2013–2018 and 2095–2100 were used for the calculations. Breaking waves for AK1 profile are excluded owing to the infrequent occurrence (≤ 6 h per year, Fig. 5). Int denotes the intermediate SLR scenario.
