Beach Type Classification
The NZ beach type classification groups New Zealand beaches into 14 beach types based on the Wright Short model. The beach types are products of the wave, tide and beach morphology and sediment characteristics. There is a beach hazard rating associated with each beach type for modal (most commonly occurring) wave conditions. The beach hazard rating takes into account hazards such as rips, surf zone currents, deep water nearshore and how changing breaker high effects the hazard rating for each beach type
