  abstract = {{T}he understanding of morphological processes controlling the evolution of sand spit reformation after a tsunami impact is a challenging and interesting topic, especially in highly energetic and micro tidal environments. {A} field campaign performed during {D}ecember 2012 at the {M}ataquito {R}iver mouth in {C}hile, allowed us to simultaneously monitor topobathymetry evolution, wave climate, tidal range, swash zone dynamics and upper beach face evolution over a portion of its sand spit. {A} video system was set up for a continuous and long-term monitoring of the evolution of the river mouth and sand spit. {P}rimarily, in this work we focus on the application of a video-derived shoreline detection method to assess shoreline evolution and beach cusps migration at hourly scales. {W}e test the method performance on short-term episodic migration of beach cusps recorded during the campaign. {B}each face variations at a daily scale were observed, which can be attributed to the migration of beach cusps in the alongshore direction, and linked to wave forcing and alongshore sediment transport.},
