The Effects of Wind-Driven Storm Events on Partly Sheltered Estuarine Beaches in Batemans Bay, New South Wales, Australia

Extreme wind-driven storm events have the potential to erode beach systems. Along East Coast of Australia, been responsible for erosion in many coast-facing, open beaches. This paper investigates impacts storms on partly sheltered estuarine beaches—a niche found within Batemans Bay, New South Wales (NSW), along Coast. It combines geomorphological data with meteorological and oceanographic evaluate large three embayed beaches (Cullendulla Beach, Corrigans Maloney’s Beach). The results show that while are protected from some events, may vary season due wind speed direction changes, presence nearby rivers or creeks, anthropogenic modifications such as dredging coastline alterations. study contribute understanding erosive help improve management strategies used prevent recession, particularly
