  abstract = {{N}ba {T}rang beach experiences southerly sediment drift during winter monsoons and northerly sediment drift during summer monsoons. {I}n addition, the area is likely to be impacted by tropical storms or typhoons. {D}ue to the presence of islands at the south east border of the bay, the strongest impact on the shoreline apart from extreme events is due to {NE} swell from {O}ctober to {A}pril. {T}he mechanism responsible for the sediment drift generated by low energetic locally generated wind waves is insufficiently understood. {I}t involves the functioning of the swash zone for weak conditions. {T}wo field experiments were scheduled before and after the period of cyclonic activity. {T}he aim of the first experiment was to describe the site's bathymetry and the geomorphology of the upper beach and hydrologic functioning of the bay. {A} new method of measurements in the swash and surf zone based on processing of data extracted from {HD} video processing was tested successfully for wind wave conditions in a reflective beach. {H}ere, we present some data obtained during the field experiment at different time scales. {T}he data provides a first quantification of the impact on sediment transport from typical low energy conditions which are encountered during spring and summer in {N}ha {T}rang.},
