This paper describes the influence of tidal currents on sediment transport on Amazonian equatorial beaches during extreme events. The study area (Salinópolis city) was divided into two sectors: western (Sampaio tidal channel) and eastern (Atalaia Island). Field surveys were conducted in 2013 during two periods of highest tides: April (the rainy season) and October (the less rainy season and Spring Equinox). The optical backscatter sensors (tide, turbidity, and wave data) and current meter sensors (velocity field data) were programmed to collect data every 0.1 and 60 seconds, respectively. They operated together for 24/12 hours on the upper shoreface (surf zone). Wave heights were higher in the Atalaia Island (up to 1 meter during the less r...
