Seawalls with low beach levels are exposed to wave action and the risk of toe scour. Recent reviews have highlighted a critical need to collect flume data at a minimum of medium and field validation data. Therefore scour monitoring equipment was deployed at two UK seawalls and a medium scale flume study conducted. The field results showed significant beach level changes, in phase with tide / toe water depth and rapid infilling occurring at low tide. When combined with the flume results, the data supports the proposition of a scour risk envelope, where a critical water depth leads to wave breaking and enhanced scour. The level of exposure depends on the initial beach level and the tidal range.
