Mixing by horizontal surfzone eddies is important to the cross‐shore exchange of material through the surfzone. Surfzone cross‐shore mixing for normally and obliquely incident waves, with very similar incident significant wave heights and directional spreads, is quantified using Boussinesq modeled drifter trajectories. For t 200 m) propagating at a velocity C different than the mean current velocity V(x)—the same mechanism that reduces mixing for mesoscale eddies.
