“…On the Hasaki coast including the study site, the beach erosion took place over the entire region at least during the storms in October 2006 according to Takewaka et al . () although there was an alongshore distribution of the amount of erosion. Hence, beach rotation is unlikely to have a significant role in the morphological change from July 2006 to June 2008.…”

“…An extreme morphological change is sometimes induced by or accompanied by beach rotation, which results in erosion at one side and accretion at the other site (Ranasinghe et al, 2004;Ruggiero et al, 2005;Harley et al, 2015). On the Hasaki coast including the study site, the beach erosion took place over the entire region at least during the storms in October 2006 according to Takewaka et al (2009) although there was an alongshore distribution of the amount of erosion. Hence, beach rotation is unlikely to have a significant role in the morphological change from July 2006 to June 2008.…”

Extreme storms occasionally induce extraordinarily large morphological changes, which may have major impacts on coastal resilience, tourism and the environment. Some of the changes are persistent, and they are defined as regime shifts. During a 28‐year period from 1986 to 2014, the foreshore and the inner transition zone of the Hasaki coast of Japan underwent four morphological stages separated by regime shifts in beach profiles. From stage 2 to stages 3 and 4, over a relatively short period between 2006 and 2008, the beach profiles in the foreshore and the inner transition zone drastically changed, mainly because of large offshore waves. From stage 2 to stage 3, the foreshore and the inner transition zone were greatly eroded. Then, from stage 3 to stage 4, although the inner transition zone was further eroded, the foreshore underwent accretion. The severe erosion of the inner transition zone over the 2‐year period formed a steep slope, which was inferred to have led to accretion in the foreshore in stage 4. Stage 4 persisted for approximately 7 years, and the beach profile had not returned to a similar morphology to those of stages 1 or 2 by the end of the study period. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
