1 SHORELINE EVOLUTION DUE TO HIGHLY OBLIQUE INCIDENT WAVES AT WALVIS BAY, NAMIBIA Berry Elfrink, 1 Gordon Prestedge 2, Cesar B.M. Rocha 3, and Jørgen Juhl 4 Abstract: This paper describes the development of a large-scale spit formation at the city of Walvis Bay, Namibia. The observed acceleration of shoreline evolution was found related to a shift in the mean wind direction that occurred in the late seventies and continues until today. The study included mathematical modeling of coastal processes and was supported by an extensive field data collection program. INTRODUCTION The coastline of Southwest Africa is characterized by the presence of several large-scale sand spit formations. The Namibian coastline between Sandwich Bay, located S of Walvis Bay and Swakopmund is oriented almost North-South. Further to the north the coastline is oriented from SSE to NNW. The location of the project site is shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1: Location of the project site The predominant waves come from a narrow directional band between S and SSW. The wave conditions are quite stable throughout the year and are dominated by swell from S to SW.

2 average significant wave height is of the order of 2m. The tidal range is approximately 1 m. Tidal currents in the near shore zone are weak, of the order of 0.1 m/s. At Sandwich Bay and Walvis Bay large coastal features have developed which change the local orientation of the coastline to SSE-NNW. The formation of the coastal spits has lead to the development of coastal marshes and mud flats that are flooded during high tide. The tranquil environment behind the spit is of great importance for bird life in SW Africa. The Pelican Point Peninsula, a sand spit of approximately 10 km, provides shelter for wave action for the city of Walvis Bay. The spit was estimated to grow (at Pelican Point) with a rate of approximately 15 m/yr. towards N. The Port of Walvis Bay has since several centuries been the main Port of Namibia. During recent years beach erosion was observed at Donkey Bay, located along the spit. The possible breaching of the spit might lead to increased exposure to wave action. This was a major concern for the community of Walvis Bay. The objective of the project was to analyze the morphological evolution of the spit and to evaluate the risk of breaching due to wave induced erosion. PROBLEM ASSESSMENT The formation of the Pelican Point Peninsula is the result of an instability of the shoreline due to the large angles of wave incidence. It is expected that climatological variations have given rise to variations in offshore wave conditions. Such variations in wave conditions, especially with regard to wave direction, may have provoked the formation of new spits that developed on the back of the existing one. While the new spit developed, the former was partially eroded. The present Peninsula has thus been formed during a number of stages. The initial spit was located closer to the shore than the present Peninsula. During following stages, the Peninsula developed further towards W. Aerial photographs of the Pelican Point Peninsula clearly show large-scale sedimentary structures that support this hypothesis. It is possible that the initiation of a new spit was associated with an exceptionally high discharge of the Kuiseb River, that had caused a temporary opening to the sea. However, it is expected that the development of a new spit could also occur without such an event. The large angle of wave incidence gives rise to unstable shoreline configurations e.g. initial shoreline perturbations may not be smoothened out by the wave action but can develop to large-scale spit formations. The littoral drift along a sandy beach reaches a maximum if the angle between the shore normal and the incoming waves in deep water is approximately 45, Fredsøe and Deigaard (1992). Along a stable shoreline, a perturbation will decrease in size and a straight shoreline will tend to develop. In cases where this angle is larger the shoreline is unstable and any perturbation can be amplified in size until the shoreline attains the orientation where the littoral transport is maximal. This phenomenon is known from several locations around the world, Mangor (2001). The mechanics of shoreline development for stable and unstable beaches is illustrated in Fig. 2. For large wave angles, the littoral transport decreases for increasing wave angles. For the present site, the dominant angle of offshore wave incidence is significantly larger than 45 degrees. The offshore wave rose is shown in Fig. 3. If small variations in the wave conditions occur, the shoreline orientation will tend to change accordingly. The bypass of sand from the Southern part of the peninsula through Donkey Bay towards the northern part is determined by these variations in wave conditions. 2

The solid line represents an initial perturbation of the shoreline, the dashed line indicates the shoreline position after some time. The arrows indicate the direction and relative magnitude of the littoral drift. Fig. 4 shows an aerial photograph of the area around Donkey Bay. The shoreline evolution here is characterized by periods of relatively strong beach accretions, interrupted by periods of stagnation. During the accretion phase, the protuberance at Donkey Bay is amplified and migrates towards N, whereas shoreline erosion occurs along the shoreline N of Donkey Bay. During periods of stagnation, the shoreline is partly recovered and the bypass of sediment towards Pelican Point continues. The photo shows the location and orientation of former shorelines HISTORICAL SHORELINE CHANGES Available aerial photographs were analyzed to perform a qualitative assessment of historical shoreline changes along the Pelican Point Peninsula. Fig.5 shows the shoreline configurations of 3

Fig. 5: Historical shoreline evolution between 1976 and

6 The figure shows that the Peninsula N of Donkey Bay was considerably wider in 1958 than it is today. Furthermore, the northward shoreline migration since 1958 is seen clearly. The shoreline changes between 1958 and 1969 and between 1969 and 1976 are relatively small compared to the changes after This accelerated shoreline evolution around Donkey Bay was expected to be due to changes in the wave conditions. If the dominant wave direction would change then the equilibrium shoreline orientation would change accordingly. Under the present wave conditions, the shoreline will tend to develop towards a orientation with maximal littoral transport. A rotation of the dominant wave conditions towards South would thus lead to an anti clockwise rotation of the equilibrium shoreline orientation along the main part of the Peninsula. Similarly, a rotation of the wave directions towards W would lead to a clockwise rotation. In order to verify whether such changes in wave conditions had occurred, an analysis of long term offshore wave data must be performed. However, long-term wave records with sufficient degree of accuracy with regard to wave directions were not available. Therefore, an analysis of long-term wind data, collected at the Airport of Cape Town, South Africa, was performed. It is clear that wind conditions in this location do not necessary resemble wind conditions at Walvis Bay. Especially winds from land, e.g. from northern and eastern directions may differ considerably between the two locations. However, the dominant wave direction at Walvis Bay is S to SW. Therefore it was assumed that changes in wind conditions at Cape Town were similar to changes at Walvis Bay for this direction interval. Fig. 7 shows the annual mean wind speed for the period between 1941 and The analysis was made on the basis of hourly wind records collected at an elevation of 17m at the Airport of Cape Town. Fig. 8 shows the annual mean wind direction for the same period. Mean values were calculated separately for two periods : October March and April September. The mean wind speed during October-March is approximately 4 m/s whereas it is approximately 1 m/s during April-September. Time variations are seen to be quite small. Wind speeds were slightly higher around 1950 and slightly lower around 1965, but generally not much variation is observed. However, the mean wind directions indicate a clear shift that started in the late seventies and continues until present. For October March, where the strongest winds occur, this shift is in the order of 20 degrees in anti clockwise direction. For April-September this shift seems somewhat higher, approximately 40 degrees, but considerably more scatter is observed. Similar analyses for higher moments of wind speed showed the same pattern as the one shown here. The above analysis of wind data lead to the conclusion that the observed variations in wind conditions are in agreement with the observed change in shoreline behavior at Donkey Bay. In order to quantify the expected future shoreline evolution and to develop and verify possible schemes of human interventions the coastal sediment balance must be known. The sediment balance was obtained through mathematical modeling of waves, near shore hydrodynamics and sediment transport. 6

Therefore, a wave study was performed to analyze the transformation of waves propagating from deep water into the near shore zone. The offshore wave data were derived from a global wave model as operated by the UK Meteorological Office. The location of the model grid point was 23.1º S, 13.8º E at a water depth of 132 m. The offshore data covered the time period between June 1997 and June 2002 and included significant wave height, peak period and mean wave direction at 6-hourly intervals. From the offshore data, annual offshore wave statistics were derived and a discrete number of wave events e.g. combinations of wave height, period and mean wave direction, were transformed to the near shore zone. The offshore wave statistics are presented in tables

9 The wave transformation was performed by DHI s wave model MIKE 21 NSW. This is a stationary, directionally decoupled parametric wave model, which describes the propagation, growth and decay of wind waves in near shore areas. The model simulates fields of spectrally averaged wave conditions that are constant in time. The mechanisms of wave refraction, shoaling, directional spreading, wave-current interaction, growth due to wind, and dissipation due to breaking and bed friction are all included in the model. Wave diffraction and reflections are not included. Wave current interaction was neglected as the tidal currents are weak. The simulations were performed on a model grid with spatial resolution of x = 50m, y = 200m. The water level was taken constant as MSL in all simulations. Model calibration was performed by comparing the simulated wave conditions with near shore wave data that was collected off Pelican Point in a water depth of 32 m. The wave model is calibrated by tuning the assumed shape of the wave energy spectrum and by adjusting a number of wave propagation parameters that determine directional spreading and energy loss due to breaking. Fig 9 shows a simulated wave field along the project site. At the offshore boundary the significant wave height was taken as 1.5m, the mean wave direction was 185 degrees and the peak period was 8 s. The figure shows that the large angle of incidence creates a shadow zone at Donkey Bay. Further N towards Pelican Point the wave height is seen to increase slightly. At the edge of the spit, the wave height becomes virtually zero. Fig.9: Simulated wave field around Pelican Point Peninsula Offshore input data: Hs=1.5m, Tp=8s, MWD=185 deg. 9
10 After the model calibration had been concluded approximately 120 discrete wave events were simulated that represent the annual wave statistics. Fig. 10: Simulated near shore wave climates along the project site. Inshore wave data were extracted in a number of locations at the 10m-depth contour along the project site. The calculated inshore wave climates are shown graphically in Fig. 10. The simulated inshore wave climates were used as input in the calculation of the littoral sediment balance. ANNUAL SEDIMENT BALANCE Annual longshore sediment transport rates were calculated along the project shoreline. The simulations were performed with LITDRIFT, which is the littoral drift module of DHI s coastal sediment transport modeling system LITPACK. The model includes important sediment transport mechanisms such as non-linear wave motion, turbulent bottom boundary layer, wave breaking and sediment grading. LITDRIFT is essentially a combination of a 1D-wave model, a 1D-surf zone hydrodynamic model, and an intra-wave sediment transport model (STP). The model will shoal, refract and break the input wave from the toe of the profile to the shoreline. A longshore current will be generated based upon the radiation stresses from the wave transformation. The effect of shoreparallel currents due to forcing other than wave breaking may also be input to the model. The simultaneous wave and current conditions are thus determined at every point along the given profile. At a given location in the profile, this information is combined with local sediment characteristics and is used as input to the generalized sediment transport model STP, resulting in the determination of the sediment transport potential at the given location along the profile. Repeated calls to STP result in the determination of the spatially varying sediment transport potential across the entire profile for the given wave event. Repeated calls to LITDRIFT for all wave events, with subsequent weighting of their transport rates by their respective annual occurrence frequencies, results in the 10
11 determination of the annual littoral transport climate for the site. A good description of the physical mechanics on which the sediment transport model is based is given in Fredsøe and Deigaard (1992). At its offshore boundary the model uses the derived inshore wave statistics. As model input the cross-shore bathymetry and the cross-shore variation of sediment characteristics (e.g. median grain size and geometrical spreading) are specified. The model calculates the local wave fields assuming locally parallel depth contours (locally uniform beach). Due to the assumption of locally uniform conditions along the beach, this type of model can not be expected to resolve the details of sediment transport along curvy beaches such as the area just N of Donkey Bay and around Pelican Point. Along the beach just N of Donkey Bay the waves are significantly lower due to the sheltering effect of the large-scale protuberance, i.e. the new spit developing in this area. This creates longshore variations in wave set-up that cause a local inversion of the longshore current pattern. This creates a large-scale clockwise circulation. Further N towards Pelican point, the wave driven current becomes northward again and the sediment transport towards Pelican Point continues. These characteristics of flow and sediment transport were verified by means of 2D hydrodynamic simulations (Not shown here). Fig. 11 shows the calculated annual transport rates in a number of locations along the project site. The numbers in the figure correspond to a profile number as shown in the lower right corner of the figure. It is seen that the transport rates at Donkey Bay decrease rapidly in northern direction. This indicates a strong beach accretion in this area. North of Donkey Bay the littoral transport increases towards Pelican Point, thus indicating net loss of sediment which is reflected in beach erosion. At Pelican point the transport rates decrease due to the shoreline orientation at the spit. This is reflected in beach accretion at Pelican Point.

12 An analysis of aerial photographs indicates that the averaged annual growth of the spit at Pelican point corresponds to a net north going littoral transport of the order 1 million m 3 /year. It is seen that this corresponds quite well with the simulated transport rates, despite the lack of good calibration data. Despite the shortcomings of the sediment transport model on the curvy stretches along the shoreline, the overall picture of the simulated littoral transport is clear and corresponds with the observed shoreline changes. CONCLUSIONS The littoral transport along the Pelican point Peninsula is dominated by the effect of highly oblique incident waves. Model simulations indicate a maximal annual littoral drift along Pelican Point Peninsula of the order 1 million m 3 /year The offshore angles of wave incidence e.g. the angle between the offshore wave crests and the shoreline is larger than 45 degrees. Under these circumstances small initial perturbations of the shoreline are not smoothened out by the waves but may develop into large-scale coastal features. This process is presently active at the Pelican Point peninsula. A new spit is presently being formed at Donkey Bay. The formation of the spit causes shoreline erosion between Donkey Bay and Pelican Point. An analysis of aerial photographs has shown that the shoreline along the Peninsula was more or less stable between 1958 and The observed erosion N of Donkey Bay started in the late seventies and is related to a shift in the mean wind direction that continues until today.
