[1] The role of the swash zone in influencing the whole nearshore dynamics is reviewed with a focus on the interaction between surf and swash zone processes. Local and global hydromorphodynamic phenomena are discussed in detail, and a description of the overall swash zone operation is given. The effects of swash zone boundary conditions are highlighted, together with the importance of surf zone boundary conditions. Major emphasis is placed on illustrating the interactions of various hydrodynamic modes which, in turn, control the swash and surf zone morphology. Finally, methods to account for swash zone processes in coastal models with different temporal and spatial resolutions are proposed.
