The COPE project aims to collect information on wind, waves and beach behaviour in areas where extensive I investigations are not practical and where otherwise little or no data exist. The project is based on the recruitment of volunteer observers who are prepared to record a series of basic parameters once or twice daily for at I least a three year period. I 1.2 Site Selection In selecting a site for a COPE station, consideration is given to:-

(a) the general shoreline configuration and the possibility of I extrapolation of data to other adjacent beaches; I (b) the distribution of stations along Queensland's coastline; (c) the need to correlate the COPE data with planned or existing data collection programmes.

I 1.3 Instrumentation

The COPE observers are supplied with a basic kit of recording instruments I including:-

30 metre tape, wind meter, stop watch, 2.0 metre measuring sticks, I recording forms and fluorescent dye. A graduated reference pole was installed on the beach in June 1982, to serve as the base point for all plan measurements and the control for vertical I levelling. I 1.4 Observers The majority of COPE observers are volunteers, who may be local business people, local residents or school children. Some stations are operated by Government and Local Authority employees who carry out the observations I as part of their official duties. I 1.5 Accuracy Individual observers differ in their subjective assessment of the various parameters recorded as part of the COPE programme. Wave parameters I such as type, height, and angle of approach together with surf zone width and the location of the vegetation line all require visual assessment, the accuracy of which will vary from observer to observer and from recording to I recording. I I 1. I I Although the Authority is confident that all observers make their observations to the best of their ability and accepts these observations without adjustment, the existence of random and non-random errors in the I recorded data is to be expected.

Problems associated with the use of data containing these errors are I minimised in two ways. Firstly, regular visits are made to the COPE stations by the Authority's COPE Field Officer to provide a check on any bias introduced into the recordings by incorrect observation procedures. I Secondly, it has been found that, with a large number of observations taken on a regular basis, a reasonable assessment can be made of the average climatologies of the observed parameters provided the observation errors are I random. A minimum recording period of three years has been adopted for the analysis and publication of the data. Five day moving averages are applied to observations of the various beach width and foreshore slope parameters to smooth out random errors. I

For these reasons, the Authority is of the opinion that published COPE data I can be used with confidence provided the above inherent limitations are recognised.

1.6 Presentation of Data I

The purpose of this report is to present COPE data for the nine year period 1981 to 1989 in a useful statistical form. No attempt has been made to I interpret the observed data. 1 If the nine year period is representative of the long term average meteorological conditions, the statistics presented on wind, wave and beach movements can be regarded as typical. However, this recording period may be considered too short to be representative in terms of the average I occurrence of extreme events such as cyclones and floods, and this should be taken into account when consideration is being given to the influence of such events on trends of Jong term beach behaviour. I 2.0 STATION PARTICULARS

2.1 Location I

Trinity Beach is located within the Shire of Mulgrave and lies approximately ten kilometres north of Cairns on the north Queensland coast. It is a one point five kilometre stretch of coastline, bounded by Taylor Point to the north and Earl Hill to the south. The location of the Trinity Beach COPE station is shown in Figures 1.1 and 1.2.

2.7 Supervision of Station

The observers were instructed in the recording programme by the COPE Field Officer and the initial instruction period was followed up with visits to the station during the period of recordings presented in this report.

Installation of the reference pole for this station has been carried out by the Mulgrave Shire Council and the Authority wishes to thank the Council for its assistance in all matters associated with the COPE project. Maintenance of the pole has been carried out by the Authority's Cope Field Officer.

4. I 3.0 DATA I 3.1 General COPE data for this station for the nine year period November 1981 to June 1989 is presented on the attached figures. The data has been analysed I statistically andJor smoothed to reveal long term averages or trends. A brief description of each of the observed parameters is given below with the relevant figure references.

I 3.2 Wind

The observer recorded the wind speed at the beach using a hand held wind I meter at 1.5 metres above beach level. Prior to February 1986 wind direction was estimated to the nearest compass sector. After this time wind I direction is recorded in degrees by compass. A summary of annual wind speed and direction percentage occurrences are shown as a wind rose in Figure 3. Where applicable, morning and afternoon I readings as well as the overall average are shown.

I Wind speed was recorded in miles per hour (m .p .h .) rather than knots after February 1986. The recordings are converted from (m.p.h.) to knots for Figure 3.

I 3.3 Waves

The average and maximum breaker height (trough to crest) is usually I estimated to the nearest 0.1 metre. From experience the estimate of average breaker height has been found to be comparable with the equivalent I deep water significant wave height. Recordings of maximum wave height and method used to obtain wave height were introduced into the programme from February 1986. Wave type and I state of tide were discontinued at this time.

I The observers estimate the wave period by recording the time taken for eleven wave crests (the duration of 10 waves) to pass a point.

I Wave direction was recorded in degrees of a compass from March 1986. The direction recorded was then converted to a sector (see following paragraph I regarding sector system).

The wave direction is estimated as one of five direction sectors indicating I the angle to the shoreline alignment from which the waves are approaching the beach. These sectors have been selected as:-

Sector 1 oo to 60° I Sector 2 61° to 350 Sector 3 86° to 95° Sector 4 96° to 120° I Sector 5 121° to 180°

I 5. I I * Note: Oo is the beach alignment to the left of the observer when facing seaward, and at the Trinity Beach COPE station this direction is approximately 335° true north. I Statistical representations of the observed wave data include:-

(a) the percentage of wave height recordings which exceed any given I wave height for all directions combined (Figure 4).

(b) the percentage occurrence of various combinations of wave heights I and periods and directions (Figure 5 and Figure 6).

(c) surf zone width with an indication of the existence or otherwise of an offshore bar (Figure 7 to Figure 15). I

(d) tabulation of the occurrence of various wave heights, periods, types and directions (Tables 1 to 9). I 3.4 Longshore Currents I The observer measured the distance parallel to the shoreline that a dye patch in the surf zone moved in one minute. Current direction is either upcoast or downcoast, upcoast being to the left when facing the sea from the beach. I

The readings are converted to a velocity which is plotted on a daily basis (Figure 16 to Figure 24). Mean upcoast and downcoast components and the I overall annual means are also presented. 3.5 Beach Profile Parameters I Beach profile parameters were measured until 1983 using an Abney level, tape measure and a reference pole. These include: I Distance from reference pole to the fixed contour. Eleva tion of the fixed con tour. 1 Distance from reference pole to the vegetation line.

The foreshore slope. I

Since 1983 profiles have been recorded using a measuring stick, the reference pole, and a line of sight to the horizon. I

Sand level at the reference pole was formally recorded from February 1986 I and the measurement of foreshore slope was discontinued at this time. Changes in these parameters with time indicate how the beach moves in response to varying wave attack. Plots of these parameters are shown in Figure 25 to Figure 34.

3.6 Monthly Beach Profiles J Beach profiles are normally taken at the beginning of each month. However, should the beach undergo appreciable erosion or accretion during the month, then the observer is requested to take another beach profile. Monthly beach profiles are shown in Figure 35 to Figure 42.
