Resumen
165 profilesof seventy-one beaches along the Gulf of Cadiz (SW, Spain) werestudied to improve the formulation of the beach profile in tidal seas.Maritime climate, degree of energy exposure and size of the sand grains weretaken into accountto study the two sections of the biparabolic profile.The objective of the study was the determination of more accurate formulations of the design parameters forthe equilibrium profile that involves tidal seas. These formulations weremodelled and validated based on existing profiles to quantify the error existing between the real profile and the modelling. This comparative analysis wasextended by considering the formulations proposed by other authors. The best results were obtained with the proposal presented herein.
