Danish Journal of Geography 95: 1–11, 1995. This paper describes some preliminary results from a field experiment on suspended sediment transport and cross-shore profile evolution in an environment subjected to storm surges. The experiment was conducted during the fall of 1994 at the barrier beach of Skallingen, SW Denmark. Data were collected over several tidal cycles comprising low through moderately-high offshore energy conditions. During the experimental period, a swash bar developed on the foreshore and migrated onshore, accreting significantly in the process. Surf zone sediment transport was heavily influenced by a rip current crossing the second bar. Topographic changes in the nearshore consisted of a progressive lowering of vertical bar relief as a result of a balance between offshore directed sediment transport due to the rip during moderate/high energy conditions, and onshore wave-induced transport during low energy conditions when the waves were not breaking over the second bar
