Abstract
Knowledge of coastal morphodynamic processes is necessary for complete
understanding of the depositional or erosional framework of a coastline. The main
aim of this study is to identify the processes that operate at the selected beaches along
the monsoon coast of Terengganu in a year cycle. Beach profiles have been surveyed,
and beach sediment samples were collected bi-monthly at each stations studied.
During the Northeast Monsoon, the coastline is under the influence of strong waves
and currents though during the rest of the year, it is subject to moderate and low
hydraulic energy levels with relatively weak waves and currents.
