Abstract: A procedure is described with reference to a case study for predicting shoreline changes for a site; where there is little wave or sed iment transport data. The method utilizes systematic detailed wave hindcasting and tr ansformation techniques which take into account moving storms, decay and regener ation, wave refraction, diffraction, shoaling and wave attenuation by seabed friction. The techniques are appli ed 0 Empress. Augusta Bay on the west coast of Bougainville for this case study. They have also been applied to several sites around Australia and South East Asia with equal success. Where ne arshore wave data is avai lable very good agr eement between the measured and predicted waves has been obtained. n each application sediment transport estimates have been consistent with site observations.
