Figure 82. Fortunes Rocks Beach, Biddeford. Standard deviation at FR1 (a) shows the berm location is relatively stable from winter to summer. At FR2 (b) the berm elevation varies by some 0.5 m (between 30 and 40 m distance). At FR3 (c), a variable winter berm is apparent, while offshore variability is greater in summer. Data at FR4 (d) show that the summer profile exhibits greater variability along its entire length than the winter profile.
