Moreno</B><I><P> CEDEX, Antonio Lopez, Madrid, Spain</I><P> Abstract<P> This paper describes the methodology implemented in the establishment of the most representative incident waves conditions in Portman Bay in order to evaluate the behavior of a project beach, after calibration of the mobile bed physical model.<P> The procedure involves a statistical analysis using the available wave information directional visual observations and scalar waverider buoy records and the performance of several propagation tests with a parabolic water wave propagation numerical model.<P>
