Abstract

The high demand for more exploitation of coastal areas has increased the need for extensive and varied studies and research in these areas. The study of different parts of the coasts is not only important as an independent research (Alizadeh et al., 2012), but can also be used to advance other research on the hydraulic and hydrodynamic issues of the sea such as depth change, bed characteristics, wave breaking (Azarmsa and Yasuda, 1997), marine sedimentation pattern (Vaselali and Azarmsa, 2009), alongshore coastal sediment transport (Sadeghifar et al. 2013), and shoreline positioning (Azarmsa and Razmkhah, 2006; 2010) will be effective. The results of these studies are applicable even in practical and economic contexts. The purpose of this research is to study the slope of the swash zone of waves in the Noor beach in the cold season.
