Swash is produced by breaking ocean waves as they reach the shore. When these waves break, they create a rush of water that flows up the beach, known as swash, followed by the backwash that returns to the sea. The energy from the waves is transferred to the water, causing it to move in this rhythmic motion along the shoreline.

What kind of wave produces a swash stronger than a backwash?

A constructive interference wave, where two waves combine to create a larger wave, can produce a swash stronger than the backwash. This can happen when the incoming waves are longer in wavelength and have a higher wave height, causing the swash to carry more water up the beach than the backwash can pull back down.

What is a constructive wave?

A constructive wave is a powerful wave that surges up the beach with a powerful swash. This is the forward movement of the wave up the beach. It has a weak backwash, which is the backward movement of water down a beach when a wave has broken. Characteristics are: .swash is stronger than the backwash. .Has a low gradient. .Has low energy. .Produces gentle beach profile .Other names are: storm, surfing or plunging waves. .Typical off the SW coast of the UK.
