Wave overtopping and beach lowering are dynamically linked processes, and vital to the management and design of sea defence infrastructure. However, these interactions are poorly understood and therefore not well represented in existing overtopping tools, such as EurOtop, used by coastal managers. There is a paucity of high resolution (field) data on beach dynamics in front of coastal structures. Here we demonstrate how a low cost, reliable, standalone bed-level sensor (B-Scan) capable of capturing daily beach profile response can support operational management decisions. Results from four sites demonstrate a robust system that can be used to improve the accuracy of operational overtopping forecasts and asset management. The system has exhibited resilience, reliability and accuracy earning support from additional stakeholders keen to improve the monitoring at further locations. With a reliable range of 12-15 m the B-Scan sensor can provide a good representation of beach response to forcing conditions, in front of sea walls, that can be used for asset management and coastal flood forecast. The system can be used in a wide range of settings mitigating the need for site visits to understand beach state to aid in coastal management. The improved temporal resolution of the data can demonstrably improve the accuracy of overtopping forecasts important for coastal flood management and help to generate greater confidence in coastal flood forecast systems.
