Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-01-21T00:00:00Z
Shoreline position data from the CoastSat methodology were used to describe seasonal cycles of California beaches using time-series analyses. This data release includes summary wave properties offshore of the 7777 CoastSat transects from California beaches. These wave properties are based on the hindcast data generated by the Coastal Data Information Program [CDIP, https://cdip.ucsd.edu] using the techniques of O’Reilly and others (2016) applied to the California coast and published in the CDIP THREDDS Data Server [https://thredds.cdip.ucsd.edu/thredds/catalog/cdip/model/MOP_alongshore/catalog.1072 html (Accessed 2 February 2024)].
