Abstract
Field measurements highlighted enormous changes in the attenuation of waves propagating from offshore across the ebb delta on the shoreface of the East Frisian island of Norderney. The application of mathematical wave model SWAN made evident that the migration of the ebb delta is the cause of these changes. The results are very important for coastal protection measures.
