California, experiment (Ingle 1966)
within a few meters of the breakpoint, then decreased gradually towards shore (see Figure III-2-20).
Downing (1984) and Sternberg, Shi, and Downing (1984) likewise measured vertical sediment concentration
profiles simultaneously with the longshore current, and found maximum transport at about the mid-surf-zone
location. The measurements did not include the inshore portion of the surf zone and did not account for bed-
load transport.
