Small changes in wave forcing and tide elevation were found to largely impact circulation patterns. In particular, under 4-m oblique wave conditions, our measurements indicate the presence of an intense low-frequency fluctuating deflection rip flowing against the headland and extending well beyond the surf zone. An XBeach model is further set up to hindcast such flow patterns.<br><br><b>Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): <a href="https://youtu.be/EiqnjBIkWJE">https://youtu.be/EiqnjBIkWJE</a></b></html> ER -
