Coastal beaches are characterized by a well-defined set of wave and tide parameters accordingly the energy condition, tidal scenario, beach slope, sedimentation environment shapes the geomorphology of the associated beach. The tidal effect is influenced by several variables, viz., breaker height, wave period, high tide sediment fall velocity and tidal range. This research paper deals the beach morphodynamics of the Digha coastal beach and also makes a detailed study of the impact of tides on it. The tidal effect on beach morphology and morphodynamics has been quantified by two parameters, viz., Dimensionless fall velocity and the relative tide range. The values of different parameters of beach, tide and wave have been used to classify the tidal beach and also extract information about the relative importance of swash, surf zone and shoaling wave process.
