A 27-day field study was conducted to explore Retrogressive Breach Failures (RBF) at Amity Point, Queensland. Two events were documented over the course of the study, and videos and photographs were obtained of one event in progress. Beach profiles and recovering shoreline position were measured along with deployments of a simple penetrometer to obtain a proxy for surficial sand density. The sand appeared to be in a loose state prior to the second event, being controversial to theory of RBF. The recovering shoreline showed rapid accretion in the first 24-48 hours along with tidal erosion of the beach face. Wind speeds reached ∼35 kilometers/hour out of the NNW on the day of each event, representing the only time these conditions were observed.
